650 spider build number's

[hosedoctor]

Probably been asked before but this is my first mclaren so please don't wade in and let me have it! Was just wondering how many 650 spiders there are in the uk?

Try howmanyleft.com?

Not sure about UK, but believe 2,500 650's were built. of which approx 80% were spyder's but no actual figures to confirm that unfortunately.

[RamboLambo]

Worldwide circa 2,500 and UK about 250, so relatively small numbers compared to circa 5,000 458s in the UK

That useful resource howmanyleft dares to disagree substantially with Rambolambo: the 458 figure showing just under 600 of each GTB & Spider - by comparison 35 650S Spider & just under 300 12C without Spider distinction

Mclaren in particular have a substantial 'no model' listing & 458 does not include SA etc so without further research the figures are just an order of magnitude guide

The DVLA data is mostly incorrect to begin with. Most 650s will show as 12Cs, some even come up as P1s, thus HML will be far from accurate. I think RL’s numbers are based on previously published figures.

I understood (happy to be corrected) that How Many Left uses data from the DVLA, and does not account for cars that are SORN'd. At this time of year, that could be a substantial number.

It lists both taxed and SORN.

There were in the region of 2,700 650S made. Approximately 80% of these were Spiders and 20% were Coupes. There will be a small number of 625C included in that figure.

There are, at very minimum, 150+ 650S registered in RHD UK spec. There are also a number of RHD Australia/NZ spec cars and LHD Euro spec cars which are registered in the UK. I think 250-300 cars in the UK would make sense, all in. This estimate takes into account, and largely excludes, the heavy bias caused by LHD Euro spec press/factory cars that were registered here and are now exported.

I've posted a little on the 650S here:
