Having owned a 12C, 12C Spider and a few other things I decided it was time to get back into a McLaren

Amethyst black is hard to photograph!

Good god.

That’s unbelievable. Congratulations

[Smifffy]

Huge congrats - The FF continues to be well looked after. Especially right now as its in with Colchester!

The P1 looks stunning. Any similarities in the paint?!

[barchetta_boy]

Great to hear!

P1 is much darker. The blu America on the FF is just lush

[Cupid-stunt]

anyone directed you to the 'best garage' thread ...?

Congrats!

Do you have a pic of all the cars together?

[barchetta_boy]

I don’t sadly… this is probably the best “flex” pic I have

[bolidemichael]

That must be an amazing feeling to open the doors and just gaze; congratulations.

Can you summarise the difference between the two, according to your experience?

[Purso]

Congratulations you, what a collection!!

[DannyScene]

P1, F40 and an F50!! Incredible what a collection!

That's just..... wow... It can't possibly get better than that. Amazing and many congratulations.

I mean as flex pictures go, I guess it’s not too bad…

Did you keep the F50? I see the plate is on the P1 now.

[barchetta_boy]

Both now gone sadly. F40 doubled in value and I just couldn't pass up the gain. Regret that, F40 is a magical car. F50 also an amazing thing, but was just too much money tied up in a car, I got very nervous driving it. The Chris Harris video F40/50 is spot on in terms of how they drive

What an amazing garage / ownership history.

The only thing on my bucket list is to drive an F40 one day, is it a likely to be a case of "never meet your heroes" or should I keep dreaming just in case?

Keep dreaming

Best road car Ferrari ever made, by a long way IMHO

That's exactly what I hoped you'd say, thanks

Silver wheels on

[CountyAFC]

Silver or dark wheels, it looks fantastic.

[thetapeworm]

I suspect you could put Halfords wheel trims on and it would still look special

Sounds like an interesting experiment. Are you game, b_b?

While I did appreciate the stealth-mode of the dark wheels, the silver lift it to another plane, for me. Abso-ruddy-lutely lovely.
