Mine is also Napier and I’m on a quest to add a bit more carbon. Any chance of some photos of yours?
Some say napier green cars are the fastest ?Certainly the most noticeable in that high vis colour, really suits the LT and nice contrast with all the carbon
I popped into the Perth Porsche Centre last week, and they had the most stunning shark blue 992 GT3 that was around a year old.
It was absolutely mint but had cracked 10000 miles.
I felt like I wasn't trying hard enough as I have only managed 4000 miles in the last year and its about 200 miles shy of 10k miles.
I doff my cap to the owner of that GT3.
I don't understand why owners of these kind of cars fret about mileage.
The guy with the GT3 drove the nuts off that and still trousered about £70k profit.
Its the same with my 675.
I use it as much as I possibly can regardless of the weather. I don't care about the mileage as when the time comes, I know someone is going to bite my arm off to buy it.
Is that a general thought for fellow owners?
Or am I as they call up here a 'no-righter'?

You are 100% right and how I look at it.It was absolutely mint but had cracked 10000 miles.

I tend to change my cars quite often so I typically onky put a small amount of mileage, but that isn't because I am fretting over every mile.
The 675 is different though. Not selling that anytime soon, God willing. Put 1k miles in the first month, which I have never done on any car before it.

Like my last Mclaren, I just don't get fatigued or fed up driving the 675.
No tyre drone, no exhaust resolution, the most perfect driving position that could not be improved, the P1 seats are just so comfy, the instant fire crack shifts...the list goes on an on.
Its seems to be in the McLaren DNA as thats how every one i have owned or driven is to drive.
My previous fast cars were either too noisy, uninvolving, uncomfortable etc and after an hour or so I had just had enough.
However, I cannot discount its maybe an age thing!

I am lucky enough to have leather and alcantara luxury seats that I am having swapped for the current P1 seats just for a wee change...I think it was SSO that has the comfort seats in his 675 spider and prefers them.
Anyone else got comfort seats in their 675?
I do love the P1 seats though...they are just fantastic.
Had standard width P1 seats in my last 675 (should never have sold it Anyone else got comfort seats in their 675?
I do love the P1 seats though...they are just fantastic.
)Current one has comfort seats with memory, which whilst more adjustable they aren't as comfortable.
I have a set of Touring P1 seats at D Class at the mo being retrimmed and heaters installed for those roof off winter blasts.

The car had both seats of seats, but through AB, they went to DClass and the leather comfort seats had alcantara fitted to the middle inserts, green stitching , and the imbossed 675 in the correct colours.
|https://thumbsnap.com/tkm3KRCk[/url]The alcantara P1 seats had the green stitching inserted and 675 stitched onto the headrests.
|https://thumbsnap.com/1zWpBNBV[/url]Went whole hog and had steering wheel retrimmed in fresh alcantara with a 12 o'clock band inserted.

How you enjoying yours?
The VO just pops in the sunlight; my last mac was in that colour.
