There are none for sale ATM. There was a flurry of 'off market' sales in past few months and then stock dried up. Last RHD car was sold last week. Joseph Quinn had one coming into stock at £350k, that might be the car you mean and was sold instantly? I know of a LTD edition carbon spider thats going to be coming up for £700k. With Speciale's going for £500k and Scuderia's for £300k perhaps potential buyers are looking for the next Ltd edition car with some movement. There are not many Ltd edition supercars from that era, before filters, nanny aids, Tandy dashboards, and hybrid assistance, that are still modern with proper performance. There has been a lot of positive chat surrounding the 675LT in the past few months, in the press and on-line. Seems like its time has come.

Did the Joseph Quinn car sell though? I see it s been promoted on IG today and listed on Autotrader at £350k?

I don t doubt the future potential one bit. However, that seems a little punchy. A similar spec Storm grey car (over orange with exposed louvres) sat on the market for a while last year listed at £230k, ultimately selling for £21Xk. Slightly higher miles at 10k.

After 4.5 yrs of ownership i read and heard all these stories of 675s hitting £300k+; however a heck of a lot of these are stories from owners to try and artificially inflate the prices usually before they are considering selling.

My heritage coloured car which was one of the last offered the line being a July '17, spider, louvres, full matt carbon inc airbrake, P1s, 1 prev owner and i certainly wasn't beating off buyers with a stty stick in summer last year; it took a while to sell with lots of false dawns.

Will they go up in value? Maybe, but it even took AB a very long time to sell the 2 roof scoops he had at around £270k very recently.

I'm not selling mine, ever, so not interested in values. More bothered about insurance premiums going up if they are worth more. Ive done 20k miles in mine in 6 years so its never going to be investment grade.

Apparently it sold this morning at full asking, I am reliably informed by friend, who's friend bought it. It was a very good 'collector' grade one.

I think over the 4 years I had mines, the insurance was never more than £750 a year, so i cannot imagine insurance being that much of an issue.

Interesting but not surprising that the queue at the door waving cheque-books is not too long.

JQ car is still advertised as available.

The elephant in the room for me is Artura, which car (675 / Artura) do you take for a fast n-ring lap?

[RSbandit]

The Artura is a great piece of kit but obviously doesn’t have the cachet of a 675. There’s been a serious move up in equivalent Ferraris in the last few months ..360CS, Scuderia , Speciale etc a 12k mile Scud just went on at £350k with European Prestige …in that world a 675 has to be in a similar price range never mind that it’s a vastly superior car to a Scud.

??
675 of course. Not sure an Artura would keep up even with a well driven 650 IMHO. Unlike 2026 F1 cars, the boost provided by the battery isn't enough to help much on straights, I would expect looking at the numbers - more of a torque fill for casual driving. Not run the 650 at N ring, but very often at Oulton Int l, where I m well above 4K revs throughout and enjoying that extra lunge above 7k often enough, which the sport series cars don t have. No torque fill needed .

Since getting the Atom, haven t taken the 650 back out on track. But with all the talk about the new F1 cars, I m looking for an opportunity on having a full track day session with one of these new hybrids to get a feel for the debate myself.

Fair enough, I would be less sure - but not driven an Artura yet. (Atom must be amazing, a handful?)

I bought the tom Hartley coupe a week or so ago, although it hasn’t been delivered yet.
Only previous McLaren was the first 570GT which lasted about a month of woes before getting a refund!

Good Ferrari, Porsche stuff has gone crazy in recent months, to the point I don’t see much value in the best ones as cars to drive, and it’s a bit of a turn-offf.
675 still at ‘old money’ pricing. Maybe it goes up, maybe others come down (Hormuz dependant..), but of everything on the market it seems a pretty goody bang for buck, and a good car to own no matter the future value.
Looking forward to getting out in it.

Congratulations on your purchase. Can I ask what you paid as I dont remember seeing it.

I have just seen this up at Bramleys for 240k. A few obvious differences but thats quite the price difference between the one that just sold at £350k

I had heard that sold straight away, but can't confirm. Looks like Damian's from Car Guys??? There is another for sale on PH for £295k

Saw your car in the latest Evo magazine, looks nice, good review too.

Did another 720 miles around Wales in the 675LT with a great collection of friends and cars. We had 3 x 675LT on the trip and all were faultless, despite the relentless rain on Sunday and very cold conditions. I'm closing up on 25k miles now, 20k of which are mine and every time I take the 675LT on a trip like this I am left breathless.

This time the available performance and grip in the wet for a 675ps RWD car was staggering. It can put the power down and corner without ever feeling you have to make concessions. The CCB's do need some cold / wet management and dabs of the brakes are required to keep them at working temps. Otherwise, business as usual and the benefit is a lot of active rear spoiler action.

The 296GTB we had with us unfortunately didnt do as well, it failed to start with a hybrid failure. The near 30yo F355 was faultless. These pre-hybrid, pre ADAS cars really are the peak.

It's been a busy month for the 675LT as I was also invited by EVO to Bedford Autodrome for a cover shoot and article on 5* cars. I am sure some of you have seen the latest issue. We had a great day, it was incredible to see the team behind my favourite mag come together and work. And there is a lot of work! Aston Parrott takes amazing photos!

Bramley Motor Cars have a mint 675LT up at £239k.
Chicane Grey, 7000 miles, 2 owners, P1 seats.
No connection but may be of interest for someone looking to make a quick £100k

[footsoldier]

Apparently it’s now sold too

[JPCGT]

I don't think we'll see them at that price point going forwards. The market has finally cottoned on.

Sold in under 2 hours. I know as a mate went to view and was sold already. It was Damian's from 'The Car Guys'. Either Bramley had not been watching the market or Damian wanted a quick sale and someone got a bargain. Think that will be the last good lowish miles one that was sold with a '2' at the front of the price.

Im looking at a spider for £230k with 24k miles and FMSH (mclaren warranty as well) but rear is painted (original) rather than exposed carbon fibre, is this a big turn off for future buyers?
