Unless the rules have changed, the official warranty isn't transferrable when sold through a dealer - although I suspect it's probably SOR and hence trying to work around that.

I don't usually care about number of owners, but 5 owners in 5 years seems a tad high?

I'd guess SOR so just a broker

The owner won that literally 2 weeks ago on one of those competitions, it's also local to me.

Being the 6 owner would put me off as Dave says, but maybe that's reflected in the price?

can you say where roughly, might contact him direct.

Just posting so I'm in the thread.

Looking for a 720s Spider myself now, ideally yellow but orange or blue float my boat.

Heated comfort seats, lift, carbon bits, electrochromatic roof, sports exhaust and B&W. 2020 onwards and warranty if possible. Happy to pay top of the market for the right car.

Yes and it is oh so close to being perfect. No glass roof, 2nd choice of colour and I'd really like silver wheels but not a deal breaker as can be changed.

Have had stuff from Amari before and I like the guy and the cars they have in there are generally spot on.

I'm in no major rush, my 40th is next year so I'm happy to bide my time.

Thanks, that's swapped the B&W for the roof.

Can someone find me this please https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJgX9Q_W0Y4

Interestingly in the Mc WhattsApp group he said he is keeping the car and not selling it

Maybe the reaisation of insurance/running costs and £130k in the bank has given him 2nd thoughts?

I guess anyone who does these comps doesnt "really" expect to win but when you do, a whole host of things you didnt consider suddenly became a reality in the cold light of day.

Well done him though, that must have been some morning waking up to that being delivered

Which group? Can I join as an owner

yes you just need to join the McLaren owners club and they send you all the info and links. It's worth joining for the sake of £50 a year!

Why don't you call the dealer who it's for sale with.

Message Jeff on the MOC Facebook page so he can invite you to the correct regional wats app group

its for a mate, it'd be better to not have to pay the SOR fee and keep the warranty stuff totally in the clear.

How you getting on, anything caught your eye?

[AB]

A couple, and I've been to see one, but not done anything about it yet. Still have my eye on other options. Not rushing into anything.

[Streetbeat]

Enquired on another today being described as having a full service history, upon checking with Mclaren, it hasn't.

Do your due diligence before purchasing guys, don't take what you read as gospel.

Quality advert spoiler

That’s got to be some kind of scam. You’d have to be pretty mad to respond to that advert.
