anyone waiting for their MP4-12c to be delivered?

[aaronc]

you might have to wait a bit longer...reading on another forum, this looks like a modified verson of the mp4 sadly crashed today, by the looks of things still has the delivery tape on the front so assume it was being delivered or on test drive. Looks like a different version, anyone confirm? Hope the driver/passenger are ok.

[Beefmeister]

Well, it's certainly modified now.

[Tuvra]

What would happen to the poor customer if the car was being delivered? Bit awkward if it has a unique build spec.

[Lambo FirstBlood]

Hope no-one was hurt.

Anyone waiting for an MP4-12C is going to get a delay anyway.

Due to all the problems I and many others have been having, production has been frozen and no new cars being delivered until further notice, whilst they sort out a fix for the ones out there.

well, most modern cars leave their windscreen intact after the EuroNCAP tests which are done at a higher speed than here judging by the relativly light damages

We (GTspirit) got told that production hasn't been frozen, McLaren just chose to delay deliveries until they have solid fixes for the majority of things.

Isn't that the same thing, frozen + delay = nothing is moving

Cars are still being produced, just not being delivered. So somewhere there's a warehouse of completed MP4-12C's waiting for the necessary fixes and new owners

This is correct,98% of the car is spot on,so no need to stop production

White car is LHD so not a UK customer and therefore not likely a PH'er.

Why weren't these problems (I assume mostly about the doors?) found and corrected before they started production? It seems that any internal long-term testing would have figured out the weak spots.

[Vmaxx Nut]

Which forum was that on ?

It was a faulty door sensor,the supplier worked flat out over the weekend to solve the problem,delivered it to Mclaren on the monday,all cars had it fitted by the thursday of that week.

Your knowledge of McLaren never ceases to amaze, but that pales into insignificance to your eye sight.

How on earth could you spot it was LHD from that photo?

Or am i missing something obvious?

AndyClax you've been talking to MTC so no prizes for you

I don't know that it is totally obvious, but the passenger airbag is bunched up near the windshield on the far side of the dash and you can just make out the curve of the instrument pod cover on the near side by the A-pillar.
