12C / 650s Spiders - where are they all??

[V10vroom]

Well, been watching 12C spiders and 650S spiders like a hawk last few months waiting for my Gallardo to sell (which is taking a while!!)... it seems 650S Spiders are few and far between... very few made indeed... a good friend enjoyed a 12C Spider for many years before upgrading to a Fistral Blue 720S (you know who you are if you're reading this!!) and I've always been extremely tempted by a McLaren Super Series.... with everything else going on I am not sure about wanting to use Finance and Balloon payments etc so 600LT / 720S out of reach but I can stretch to maybe £90K with a Hire Purchase option...... thing is my head says a 650S is rarer and therefore a special place to be and of course newer car... but I did test drive a 12C spider back in 2013 and they were / are awesome bits of kit... with a Thorney Warranty for peace of mind it is surely unlikely to depreciate more than 10% a year or may even appreciate with its classic styling and again limited numbers..... everything seems to be otherwise good... insurance around £500 from Admiral, Servicing at Thorney very reasonable indeed compared to the Gallardo (which cost £2500 every other year)..... so my head is now say MCLAREN very loudly..... another part of me is saying BORROW BORROW BORROW and get a 458 spider (I had a 360 a few years back which was a fantastic first supercar) but I can't really afford the 458 Spider without BIG finance and likely some decent depreciation and finance Balloon etc etc so head still saying McLaren.... bit of a rant but after 20 years of PISTONHEADS it's good to air ones thoughts as you guys are usually fab at helping my decisions haha
I do like the look of the Purple 12C Spider at Tom Hartleys......

Don’t think that’s Tom Hartley Junior ....
