So the one I linked to and one without a track pack?

Sorry, must have been confused with something else. I agree then, strange its been for sale for a while, maybe its just the track pack thing, but to me that would be a plus.

P1,s are an amazingly comfortable seat, would take them over Sennas every time.

Sennas are super comfy if your not an irregular shape, I’ve had both regular and touring in both my 600 LT’s, amazing seats and somehow help make the interior of the car look and feel extra special,,

I enquired about the Volcano car at Birmingham back in November but was told it was sold.

Maybe it fell through. Never got to see it sadly.

I saw it, a very, very nice car.

I bought a spider instead that I am deliriously happy with.

But I do like that colour.

The car you linked has the trackpack.

IMHO the car you linked is a good buy at £140k flat.

Its a SOR car, dispite it being listed since July, they'd only offer £3k off!

The 720 at Warford cars was mine previously and whilst it doesn't actually have a trackpack, it does have pretty much all of the options included in a trackpack aside of the carbon rear wing. I sold the car a couple of years ago and am guessing the current owner is now moving it on. It was a replacement car supplied by McLaren through a main dealer after I suffered significant problems with a previous 720, so it was very well sorted for that reason, I believe it was originally used by Mclaren themselves - I'm happy to input further if required.

Obviously the owner isnt desperate to sell, come spring it will probably bounce back up on value, think it started at £155k

Dropped you a PM!

Wait, was this the one that was Flewitts car, or was that Blue? Remember seeing that around with all these options, just can't remember what color it was.

[Charlie360]

No the warford car wasn't Mike Flewitts, I think as you say, his was blue.

Makes sense, it wouldn't have sold for nine months including having been for sale in the previous summer at the advertised price so will be worth more in spring when it's a year older.

And then the second one came along....

its got lots more carbon, missing the B+W.

Scott Hardy have a really high spec 720S Spider with buckets for £10k more than that one albeit higher miles at 20k…I bought my 600 from them sound guys to deal with. They’ve also had that car a while so could prob be had for mid £150s I’d have thought . First listed for £179k in Sep fyi.

I don’t like the carbon bonnet 😂

I’ve spoke to the guy that owns it(SOR), he’s firm on the price.

Is the carbon bonnet a factory option?

I'm not sure what the BW sounds like, but my old 720S had the normal audio and it was bloody awful. I really do like my music so it was a bit of a dissappointment.

720s have been firm for 3 years now, £140-£150k for a decent spec early model, they dont seem to get cheaper with age so a year older is irrelevant imo, seems the same with most of the range, they get to a price and stay there or there abouts.

I would most definitely taking a look if i had the money, great colour, track pack which i like, good spec. Maybe its not so good in the flesh (or the track pack) which is why it hasnt sold as there are plenty of others sold at that price/year.

[RSbandit]

Yeah I think they are just so much car for the money that they do find a bottom and sit, probably applies to all McLaren models unless the mileage is truly galactic. I doubt the 720s will ever be a sub £100k car.
