Wow that is stunning 
Thank you, and likewise regards yours. Wheelspinning said:
Great post Bispal.
It was yourself and SSO that persuaded me to go down the 675 route 2.5yrs ago...what an absolute amazing car.
I view it as 'peak McLaren'; F1 a tad too expensive and slower in all increments apart from vmax, and the P1 also a tad expensive with the battery a big concern.
Your considering green; mines is napier and I love it; my 20 spokes are liquid silver and defo prefer them over the usual black.
I too have been self warranting also for 18mths, and with the exception of the lower wishbone ball joint McLaren Glasgow remedied last week, its been ultra reliable.

Really like the contrast with the air brake decals on your 675.
I am planning on selling mines early next year so a new guardian can experience the bewitching abilities the 675 possesses; its going into mclaren January to be inspected in order to put the covetrd 12/24months warranty on it...not that it's needed, but for piece of mind for the next owner.
Just don't know what to get next...
In 4 years I have not even thought of another 'supercar' that could replace it. Certainly nothing post 2015 with all the electronic aids, hybrid powertrains, electronic steering, quiet exhausts, mahoosive digital screens and constant bongs. The 675LT really is the peak of the greatest period of supercars.
The only other supercar I have enjoyed was the Superformance GT40. I would be looking at a sportscar like a Cayman / Boxster 4.0 GTS rather than a supercar now, quick enough and analogue. Nothing new appeals at all. Going to be a tough decision for you.
Unfortunately work commitments next year mean I will have almost no chance to use it, and as you know these don't enjoy sitting about doing nothing.

Had ps4s on mine for 4 years been amazing, makes the car very usable in the damp and winter too. Still lots of grip left too
It is incredible how easy going these are on tyres, along with fuel.I'm still on P Zeros, and whilst not the greatest, I think the 675 makes them seem a lot better than they actually are.

Silver ages the car, which is great if you want to think of it as a classic.
The same for those who prefer silver …..(leaves the room for Christmas hols).
Mines 7 years old this month.The same for those who prefer silver …..(leaves the room for Christmas hols).

For me they are a modern classic.
So silver it is.

I've had P Zeros on 3 McLarens, 2 Porsche, a Ferrari and AMG.I'm still on P Zeros, and whilst not the greatest, I think the 675 makes them seem a lot better than they actually are.
Changed them to MPS4S at the earliest opportunity on all of them.
Such a great tyre.
I've probably done 150k miles on them across various cars.
Every car I get now as soon as they tyres need doing or I change alloys I put MPS4S on.
Paul you and I have very similar tastes buddy I also have a GT40 which I absolutely love, in fact, I’ve driven more miles in the GT40 this year than the McLaren.

Prices were hit with everything else, so more than likey they were removed from sale.
Actually prices of 675LT have held up very well and remained stable. Naturally I look at prices often and haven't really seen a dip. They stopped going up but that was about it. The cars left for sale at low prices are either high miles, poor spec or have a dubious history. Quite a few have been selling off market at good prices too.
