Immense car and my favorite at the moment in sub £250k range

Just seen repost saying you have bought it.
Congrats.
675LT spider is fantastic value for money at the moment and I'm in pursuit of a MSO Spec green or orange one as we speak.
Seem to be incredibly rare and price very spec dependent
Looks like yours is pretty loaded which is what I'm after but guessing that those that specced them highly did so as keepers
Shame only 9 or 10 basic spiders for sale currently

No apologies required you have good taste sir.

Colour is a very personal thing the important thing is the car itself.

White is the motorsport track derived theme colour and I much prefer it to say black or grey but I do like bright colours.

I'm actually going to look at a white red and black 488 spider as its a nice combo and different for a ferrari.
Seems to be £10k cheaper than resale red so happy dayz

When you say gloss black side vents and wing mirrors do you mean gloss carbon fibre or piano black plastic ?
Same with MSO louvres I can't tell from pic if they are carbon or not ?

I thought all 675LTs came with matt carbon ?

I've only seen one, a volcano orange car that had all carbon in gloss which I think was a cost option.

Makes me laugh when they say the matt finish saves weight, what like 1g ?

The louvered wings,door mirrors,side intakes ,are all Carbon painted gloss Black.

The guy who originally specd it had a P1 and a Senna and this was consistent with his other cars.

It looks Right in the flesh.

I like that profile picture with the wing doors open. It emphasises how much reliance there is on the carbon tub for torsional rigidity and of course it does a very good job at that.

Certainly different and I get the storm trooper reference now.
Seems mad to have carbon fibre and then paint over it at extra cost confused

Would you consider doing the same to front and rear bumpers and side skirts for consistency as that would be proper storm trooper

First impressions are :

Driven it in the dry and rain for a couple hundred miles now.
Very planted in sport/sport. but will give a wiggle on the way out if required.
The steering is just "Exquisite", certainly without doubt the best I've experienced, in both feel and precision.
The turn-in really sharp, far better than the 650.
That massive wing will fly up much quicker than 650 and really nails the rear end down under braking very little change of attitude.
Titanium exhaust makes a good noise. Riffle shot up-shifts above 6000 rpm make you laugh out loud. And plenty of cracks and bangs going down the box if required.
Ride is firmer than 650 but more forgiving than latest GT3. So-much so, Sport Handling is my default setting.
That really comfortable but well controlled magic carpet ride still there.
Although lighter, more power, more noise and understandably more vibration on tick over, it actually is smoother to waft around in than the 650. You could daily this but its too special for that.
Obviously its stupidly quick when asked, However, it seems to be up on its toes and eager to please at lower speeds.
The Noise and general theater makes it such an event even in the rain lid up with rear screen cracked.
As with all Macs it attracts mostly positive reaction from the young and not so young.
Will try to give it as much use it deserves.
