I watched a video on YouTube this morning in which Collecting Cars spoke to John Thorn (?) of Thorney Motorsport about 12Cs and what to look out for when buying one.
The discussion moved to values. The man from Thorney said that a 12C had recently been sold for £46,000 but that it needed £25,000 spending on it.
If they're speaking about this car, then I think it is slightly unfair of CC to shaft their customer in this manner!
That said, he might have been referring to another £46k 12C?

CC didn't shaft anyone (well, not any more than they do in every auction, since they fleece literally everyone with their exorbitant fees). They are just a platform, like eBay or Autotrader.The discussion moved to values. The man from Thorney said that a 12C had recently been sold for £46,000 but that it needed £25,000 spending on it.

There are plenty of 12Cs around, a fair few of which change hands before they hit the web, can't assume he was talking about this one.

He says that in every other video. Almost like he’s trying g to sell a warranty. This one has been at v Eng, who don’t perpetuate doom.The discussion moved to values. The man from Thorney said that a 12C had recently been sold for £46,000 but that it needed £25,000 spending on it.

It looks like the car sold on ebay this afternoon. I agree that it was a shame that this didn’t develop into a ‘long termer’ type thread. I’ve always had a 12C itch but I’ve worried that the sense of occasion might be missing.
A 570 on Mclaren London dealer plates drove past me today in Knightsbridge and it sounded very dull.
I think that I might be more interested in the sound of a supercar rather than the speed. My 2007 Maserati Quattroporte sounds so much better than the 570 did today.
Now the 12c is sold it’d be great to hear from the OP on the decision process that lead to the fairly quick resale.

I saw this on eBay and recognised it as the car that was sold via Collecting Cars and the McLaren specialist then did a video of saying it needed £25,000 of work that wasn’t disclosed. But I am wondering why the seller didn’t sell it on again via Collecting Cars?
Are you certain the video with the £25k of work was this car?I thought that was the volcano orange car that's been on AT for £60k for months

I don’t think you did. It’s not been to the only “specialist” that makes vids claiming cars need £5897666666668997 worth of work Gassing Station | McLaren | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
