If it was any of those colours, it would have sold by now......there are lots of new owners on the 600LT group over the last few months, most you would assume would have seen this car and passed it over, which would be for the spec as it's a great spec.
Personally, the colour is the number one thing for me. I'm not bothered by carbon packs, can take or leave what seats it has or what audio system is in the car..........if it's in an unattractive colour, I couldn't buy it, no matter the spec.....
Fair enough, seems AB sold a nice spec coupe in Muriwai, how long it was there or what it sold for i cant say, but personally think its an awesome colour after seeing a 620R in it at Mclaren New Forest.Personally, the colour is the number one thing for me.

Do Jct9 have a good rep on here? Maybe something to do with it.
Can't say that I've seen that advertised anywhere, have to agree about the colour, right turn off which is why it's still available. Much nicer colours out there and until the numbers on sale reduce I think this will hang around but then it only takes one person to like white and it's gone, that person is not come forward yet.
Smartie colour cars will nearly always sell first followed by black/grey and then the white/silver/Blade silver and other unpopular shades.

A lot of 'opinions' on here.
There is no right or wrong with colours; whats to your taste may well not be to someone else's tastes.
Its just daft to say that a colour of a certain 600lt is horrible as some may the colour of yours is terrible.
Likewise with models.
All McLarens are fantastic in my experience. I have zero time for anyone whom states that their model is rarer and more expensive than yours so it must therefore be better.
What flippin nonsense to spout.
This is a 600Lt discussion.
Potential buyers shall come here the same as the OP.
Yes some colours sell quicker than others, but that means squat if you don't really fancy that colour.
You would be off your rocker to dismiss buying a car because someone you most likely will never meet says its a terrible colour.
At this price range, not many cars fly off the shelf, especially with current bouyed prices.
Some cars are SOR and the owners just won't negotiate; colours, interior, history and owners are all a factor.
Late 2020 I almost bought one of the currently listed ( for a long time ) napier 600 spiders for around £135k; it was an April '19 car.
At that time it just put me off that my local mac dealer had around 5 for sale ( 3 spiders 2 coupes ) and none of them seemed to be moving.
There are all sorts of reasons some cars sit about for sale.
If you want one, find the colour and spec you want and get it bought.
Don't worry about others views.

I think its automatic to be curious about why a car has been for sale for a "long" period of time though, especially what looks to be a good spec and as i said above, i think Muriwai is an awesome colour. If i was looking for a 600LT it would definitely be on my list, but, i wouldnt want to pay over the odds regardless of colour.
Simple logic says to me, either its not as good in the flesh as the photos look (corrosion/paint correction required/mpi work needed to warranty etc etc), or there is some unknown history to us which a buyer might have found out, or...... its simply too expensive regardless of colour, personally im plumbing for the latter.

I don't think it's too expensive. If it was Volcano Red/Orange or McLaren Orange or Napier it would be sold.......Simple logic says to me, either its not as good in the flesh as the photos look (corrosion/paint correction required/mpi work needed to warranty etc etc), or there is some unknown history to us which a buyer might have found out, or...... its simply too expensive regardless of colour, personally im plumbing for the latter.

Ashgood have a black spider up for £148k with 24500 miles on it , was for sale a few weeks ago also and looked like it had sold quickly but back on mkt again now …doesn’t have the buckets tho which I guess would be a negative for those after the LT experience.
Thats a great looking car.P1 buckets are magnificent, but I am swapping them out for the comfort seats when mines goes in for a service next week just for a change.
RSbandit said:
Yeah lovely deep black in the photos v nice car. Interesting that you’re switching to the sports seats , did you have them originally in your car and bought the buckets or no? P1 buckets about £10k after market …punchy!
The car had both sets and I managed to negotiate the 'spare' set as part of the sale.It had the comfort seats fitted originally, and I had the P1's personalised at Dclass and then fitted before I collected the car.
The comfort seats were then personalised at Dclass and sent up the road.
My previous mac had the comfort seats which although viewed as a compromise, were perhaps the comfiest seats i have sat in; jumping from the P1's to comforts shall be interesting.
The P1's are also very comfortable though.
Nice to have the option of both seats but TBH the P1 buckets are so comfortable im not sure I would bother or have the hassle of swapping in and out.
To have the full LT experience and for resale I think the buckets are essential.
I would also go on to say that as magnificent as the senna seats are to look at and sit in they are quite awkward to get in and out of with the hard and high carbon shoulder area. I'm quite athletic and nimble and I struggled with them a bit
P1 buckets seem to be the go to , one size fits all option IMHO

When I ordered my car from a pool of stock it had to have the comfort seats, get in an out of buckets over a reasonably wide sill is not pleasant at 65.
They are also great with top down in winter and the heaters on and I never had issues around the track or went any slower than if I had buckets.
But, they are a nightmare to adjust....

Do you mean your comfort seats are hard to adjust?They are also great with top down in winter and the heaters on and I never had issues around the track or went any slower than if I had buckets.

Mines are all electric adjustment and the car has the comfort entry option for when the comfort seats are in place so they retract fully back when ignition switched off.

From the advert;"was previosuly mapped which but now back to standard"
Thats enough to put a lot of people off.........

Last year whilst in Germany I had my seat module fail but luckily it failed when the seat was in my driving position…had it done so with the seat in the far back comfort entry position I’d have been stranded …seems a silly functionality unless there’s some manual override I’m not aware of?Mines are all electric adjustment and the car has the comfort entry option for when the comfort seats are in place so they retract fully back when ignition switched off.

Hmm I guess that would put people off but would be surprised if Ashgood hadn’t known that when they took the car in originally … there’s a selling price for everything of course …this car is £2k under its original ad…maybe it needs to be £10k! "was previosuly mapped which but now back to standard"

Yes, the adjusters down the side of the seats next to the tunnel and a right PIA to see and I don't do reading of owners manuals so end up in a compromised position as havng tried endless times I just seem to end up sitting like a squashed hunchback.Mines are all electric adjustment and the car has the comfort entry option for when the comfort seats are in place so they retract fully back when ignition switched off.
Having now tried both the Senna and P1 seats I’d be happy with either, Senna’s look better but P1’s easier to live with.
I do fancy as much exposed carbon as possible, been holding fire waiting to see if a Sequoia Borealis that was possibly being sold materialised but now looking unlikely.
Trouble is the longer I wait and see that none of the cars seem to be shifting the more I’m inclined to wait and see if prices drop over the coming weeks.
