Thanks for all the replies.

I have taken the plunge and bought the orange 540 that was for sale in thorney motorsport

Thanks again and I pick the car up next week ????

Looks lovely, congrats and enjoy in good health.

Very rare to see these with the genuine McLaren spoiler which I think sets off the car perfectly. Just read the advert which states the spoiler cost £8k

I am looking forward to seeing it in the flesh! I've never sat in a McLaren so I'm an excitable nearly 40 year old. My exige feels special but I'm expecting this to be another level again.

Wow - you've just dropped £90k on a car and you've never even sat in one from the same manufacturer before?

That is some serious leap of faith.

I did exactly the same last year, i knew i was going to love it and i did.

Definitely another level to the Exige, i had a Vx220 with harrop supercharger at 350hp, my 570s was that dialled up to 10

I have watched endless vidoes, reviews etc etc - I cant see me being anything apart from delighted!

I will of course post a review after the collection day

In 5 days you’ve gone out and bought one ! Hats off to you buddy, much better than those who come on here and never commit to buying one,,

[justin220]

I'm also an ex Exige owner, I think you'll be delighted. If you like the Exige you'll love the McLaren.

Hey all. Just sold my 981 gt4 and bought a 570s in white from Rybrook Birmingham. Should collect next Saturday. We’ve sat in the car but not drove it because of the snow. Wanted one for a few years now so fingers crossed it doesn’t disappoint

[Davyt]

Congrats ! You’ll love it ,…

It won't. I switched from a 718 GT4 to a 600LT. The McLaren makes the Porsche seem very ordinary, it really is another level.
