If you were after buckets and rolcage then this looks like a good buy.

I had a quick look at that orange car at Manchester and was quite interested but for me I thought if I put another 10-15k miles on it it would be getting on a bit and the 720 probably is only staying for a few years. Although I bloody love it, so maybe not.
I found Manchester nice and easy to deal with and was very happy with my purchase and the process.
Such a dull colour inside and out. its likely 10-20K away from selling.https://www.alastairbols.com/cars/mclaren-720s-tra...

Strangely I like the 720 stealth look. I prefer all the other models in brighter colours but that looks epicLooks like my old car is still for sale at Thorney https://www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/car/mclaren-72... - it was a track pack also but I sold the P1 seats as my fat Ar$e didn't fit in them, I did 15k in that car, like a lot of Mclaren's the first 2k was torture, bits going wrong, the last 13k was great, don't be frightened of mileage on these, the ones that are used tend to have a lot less problems than the low mileage garage queens, well they don't but someone else has had the pain of fixing them already! I know the current owner and he's looked after it. its much better colour than who ever's taken that photo. Memphis red really pops in the flesh

Only from looking around a few 720s have track telemetry so not sure of its track specific. Carbon spoiler was mso option.
Found this online,,So, what do I get in the Track Pack?
In time-honoured options bundle tradition, the Track Pack helps you justify the spend (£28,850) by representing better value than buying its constituent parts separately. Those parts include a spectacularly handsome McLaren Special Operations (MSO) rear wing in glossy black carbon, a sports exhaust, ultra-lightweight 10-spoke forged alloy wheels and, on the inside, lightweight carbonfibre racing seats (available in two sizes) and the option of harnesses rather than seatbelts, secured to a very pretty titanium frame.
Additional interior equipment includes McLaren’s Track Telemetry system (three in-built cameras and a datalogger, to help you and your driver coach find a little more lap time), MSO carbon shift paddles and alcantara trim on your point of contact with the 720S’s standout biggest asset, its sublime electro-hydraulically assisted steering.

Great info, always good to hear from owners, were you the 1st owner.Shame you sold the seats and didnt keep them to go with the car, its the best bit of the track pack.
was the first owner of sorts, it was in 2020 when Mclaren were registering cars putting a handful of miles on them so they could sell on at a discount, as far as the log book is concerned i'm the second owner but it had i think 140 miles on it.
Track pack was the seats the roll cage and the telemetry/cameras, most of the ones Mclaren specc'ed in that era didn't come with the carbon rear wing as they had supply issues, hence mine came with a painted rear wing but they still had it as a track pack, and yeah shame about the seats but then I didn't want it as a track car, and the P1 seats are not good if you aren't skinny! I know that one has never been tracked as I sold it to a friend who has looked after it. the track pack is the same exact car with a few bolt on bits, there are no performance or handling changes, because Mclaren had specced mine it came with every bit of Carbon going! I only sold it because I stupidly test drove the 720s Spider and decided i needed one....

by the way, every Mclaren seat will fit in every Mclaren car, so if the seats are a big deal, they come up on Ebay now and then. i'm not sure about the powered heated comfort seats fitting in a car not specced with that as it might not have the loom but every seat will physically fit every car
Track pack as in previous post, parts could be ordered individually so that’s why some cars are advertised as Track pack spec, obviously not the full fat version ..

Ive seen a fair few genuine track packs without the carbon spoiler, maybe as Dave said there were supply issues at some point and discount offered.So, what do I get in the Track Pack?

Any ad that headlines with "Previous famous owner" and leaves it there isn't a great start. You'd really want to name and shame who put that wrap on. However I only spotted one spellingmistake, and no errant punctuation or evidence of a sticky caps lock key, so he has put some effort into it.The seller is pretty easy to find if you're bothered, he mainly installs/services airon and multisplit units in Devon.
