Nice Black MP4 - Ayres End Lane, Harpenden - anyone here?

[g7jhp]

Out for a run (on foot) about 9am this morning when a nice MP4 passed me crawling down Ayres End Lane. Looked lovely although I did think it was a F458 at first.

Anyone here?

Would love a passenger ride if you're local

Perhaps the owner was lost?

No two up looked like they were out for an early morning spin, the lanes are quite narrow and you wouldn't want to meet anyone coming the other way at an speed.

It's not an MP4, it's abbreviated name is the 12C.

All McLarens, road and race are MP4's

Of course if they'd bothered to give it a proper name we wouldn't have this problem.

I believe it is 'McLaren Project 4' and, if that is the case, I don't understand why McLaren themselves and journalists insist on using that code as part of the name.

I live near there - wouldnt take the Maz down there!!

In 1980 McLaren merged with Ron Dennis’ Project 4 Racing team.

Since then all cars have had the prefix MP4.

Sorry to be so pedantic.

McLaren want the car to be known as the 12C.

So MP4 is the company and 12C the model. Simple.

Thanks.

Pfft, I took my 355 down there yesterday; it's fine.

[Devonboy]

Would anyone in harpenden/st albans be interested in a free photoshoot? a friend of mine is a great photographer and we are wanting to do a shoot with some more car porn.. Have some photos he did for me previously if you want to see!
