Does anyone have numbers on the rarer colours?
Mclaren seem either very reluctant to release numbers on colours (which i am sure they will have) or just cant be bothered.

I did enquire with hq about numbers of a certain model in a certain colour, but was basically fobbed off that they dont have that info.

I think there is only one other volcano blue 720 out there in the wild.

That photo will have been taken in the original McLaren Dubai showroom which was just opposite the Dubai Mall. The car was for sale for a very long time and the rumour was that it was a cancelled order. I saw it in the flesh after they had moved showrooms …. I didn’t take a photo as, imho, it was the worst looking LT I’d ever seen and I didn’t think they’d ever sell it. I wasn’t the only one who thought this at the time biggrin

Hi I worked at the factory 8 years and just had to paint my Exige Lantana purple, lots of MSO paint options few even know about, and every tin of paint is delivered in and never has a code on the tin, only the name of the colour.

I was close to buying this ex press car in late 2020 and the colour in the flesh was utterly stunning; it also had carbon packs 1,2 & 3.

Never seen another 720 spider in that colour and am reasonably sure it was thereafter bent during a pointless drag race against a BMW suv that's still on YouTube.

Isnt or wasnt that Flewitts 720?

Gorgeous colour and the sort of thing i was aiming this thread at, readily available from the MSO catalogue but rarely seen, not random one off specials, although it is interesting to see and ponder who in their right mind choose that biglaugh

XPGreen's rare, originally on a prototype F1 car, there's a couple of GT's coming in that colour too as a homage. Serpentine's very close, equally rare, alit more blue/green.

I cant help feeling a little despondant going through some of the great colours mentioned on here and then trolling the classifieds and seeing whites/blacks/greys frown

That is gorgeous.

Just got a new car but if I go for another McLaren down the road I'm taking a good look at that colour, it's bonkers but beautiful.

Looking around on "how many left" yesterday, im pretty stunned at how many normal Mclarens (600lt, 720s, 650s etc) are sorn'd in the summer of last year (Q3).

I get it if they are low volume specials, but anything else just seems crazy to have sorn'd, i wonder if its the same cars sorn'd or the numbers are just a base line.
