Lovely car, congrats. We're there no P1s in the UK? How difficult is it to register it here?

There are numerous ones in the UK. This one wasn't, that's all.

Well obviously there are P1s in the uk. But there has to be a reason to import one, e.g. cost, colour etc.

None being readily/visibly for sale in the UK?

The last three UK-related sales I know of are:

A white Dutch-delivered car to the UK.
A gold Singapore-delivered car to the UK.
An orange UK-delivered car to Singapore.

Being LHD the world is your oyster. There are three P1 markets (Europe, North American and Asia) with slight variations in specs (not sure of all the details, sadly). I believe the North American market is the most tricky to move to and from as they have modified rear panels for the lights and require a different front light set up. I am currently speaking to some people from the US interested in importing a Asian market car, for example.

No proof whatsoever, but I heard of one being made RHD at a premium of £1m

Obviously could be utter twaddle. Came from a P1 and GTR owner who knows the big man.
I was offered a RHD one but I didn't believe it...
Spoke with a friend at McL about this. They had a number of requests but they have never made one and, short of financial lunacy, they would not make one.

A certain PHer has said they're getting a P1GTR tomorrow.

Not sure if they were kidding but I hope not!

I assume its yours Andy, to keep the Lark company? Many Congratulations.

Busy time for PH'ers collecting their new McLaren's.

A good few 12C's + 650's + a P1 and now a P1GTR.

Mine may 'only' be a 12C but i can't wait until Monday. Look out for a Graphite Grey 12C spider southbound on the M40, then southern part of M25 on Monday afternoon.
