Its now open, with the official opening night next week.

F1 GTR #04R




A nice 650 Le Mans was there today too.









Met a great bloke, ironically ended up following him nearly all the way home, so he must be local to me, who was after a blue 12C they had on the forecourt - if you're on here, hope you get the deal you're after thumbup

Is this a sales and aftersales operation for servicing ? My current "local" dealer is circa 200 miles away so ascot would be closer for sure and tie in with my HO work in the big smoke

Yes, as widely stated around here and mclife, mclaren ascot now takes over servicing for mclaren london having moved from their former sevenoaks service location.

Car returned last week following 3.5 weeks at Ascot having its 3rd service; MOT; front bumper re-sprayed; protection film added; and several warranty items addressed.

Great work from Ben and his team, as usual, roll on summer......

Wow, and bugger! That F1 GTR smokin
I was working near by last week and drove past the showroom 3 times and never bloody spotted the GTR frown It certainly would have warranted a stop and a look through the window if I'd have spotted it. Mind you, I am back that way on Thursday.

I think they have their official opening on Thursday. Not sure if it's an invite only thing as I'm taking mine in for some work on Wednesday but was asked if I was going on Thursday. Much nicer than their previous portakabin shared with Bentley! Very nice operation with friendly and knowledgeable guys and girls

Saw Tims(shmee150) car today at ascot. It looked...different!

Also saw a nice array of colours of 12c's and 650's as well as that F1 and a very nice iridium blue 650 spider

I'm going tonight - anyone else? I'll be in my i8, but I'm half-thinking to chop it in for a 12C. Anyone here bringing theirs so I can pick their brains please? smile

Was the McLaren orange 650S spider there? I put a deposit down on it last weekend! Can't wait to collect.

I think the Orange one was near the entrance. All the cars were packed in quite tight. Hope the launch went well on Thursday

Was still on a lift when we called in today - slightly distracted by the bare P1 in the workshop.
