570S or 650S?

I do wish I'd held out for a 12C or 650S mainly for the ride but I am more than happy with the ride and performance of my 540C and I have to go against the grain and say I prefer the more modern dash as I never really liked the large tacho on the earlier cars but would obviously have lived with it

Love the tacho on mine. Probably an age thing!

I go through phases of thinking I should put mine up for sale - and seem to be in one at the moment. But think I'd probably regret it so will see how I feel when Spring and normal life arrives.

Appreciate this, thank you. It’s not SOR but I’ve read enough that makes me want to stick to AB or the Mcl network for my first Mac purchase.

Also, check out 'autolounge' Aberdeen, Graham Davidson. They don't deal with sub standard cars.

At my price point the 12c won me over and I preferred the big tacho. An age thing indeed.

Thanks Macdeb, they are on my radar - keep trying not to get distracted by their 600LTS ... or the 430scud..

I've been looking at the blue one VVS have. Looks lovely, anyone know anything about it?

I see this is now sold. Was this you ? Congrats if so and enjoy the car!

My mate's 570s spider is now showing in the 'coming soon' page of Collecting Cars so should go live before long. 2017 in black with a black interior with orange highlights with 5.8k miles on it. Be very interesting to see how much it goes for with lockdowns due to ease soon and summer coming before long and I hope he gets a decent price for it. It's a shame that in the last year most of us haven't had much chance to enjoy our toys as we would have liked.

No McLaren warranty with it - lovely though.

Got some man maths here for you:

650s + £400 per month warranty = 720s with warranty

That's how I ended up with mine, I just spend £400 (actually a lot less) on finance so I could buy a 720

Bravo, this is the best recent example of man maths I've seen and actually sounds very sensible

All absolutely right but I don’t earn enough to borrow that sort of money - otherwise I might have !!!

....but minus the drop top and the svelte shape

Wasn't me. I was trying to decide if I could live with the rear end (which I really don't like) or compromise the drive and go for a newer 570S which looks so much better. The 650S at this price point is so much car for the money though and you get the carbon tub, blah, blah, blah. I don't think I'd regret either. Interestingly I was offered a 2018, 1 owner, 570S Spider with 16k miles for £97k cash yesterday. Had just had a service at Ascot but they were reluctant to give me any info. 3 mths of McL warranty left though. Nice spec as well

Anyone know anything about the black 650S Spider being listed by TJ Car Sales? Previous owner on here perhaps ?

Nice car, has had paint. Not seen in metal but looks nice in the video they sent. Just haven't driven one yet and am still considering a 650S. Really should drive both first but lack of opportunity for obvious reasons.
