MC-12 Spotted

[Dr Jekyll]

Saw one of these near Oxford on Sunday afternoon. How many are there in the country? I thought they only built a few dozen.

Jesus I'd love to see one in the flesh! lucky bugger

Near Oxford!!!!

I live in Oxford and have never seen one on the road! Wonder what one is doing round these parts...

Yeah, only 25 MC12s were ever made. Stunning machine.

[VML]

50 were made worldwide, in 2 twenty five per production cycles.

At my lastcount, there are 4 in this country (UK registered), 3 of which are in the official Bianco Fuji/Blu scheme

Ah, I didn't know that. And I thought that all of them were in the blue and white livery? I know there is a custom black/blue one in Paris.

It was southbound on the M40 so I guess returning from an event at Silverstone.

I believe a "giant" in F1 has one. Its been spotted a few times in South Ken.

I saw one on the M11 near Cambridge a couple of years ago. Awesome car and so much road presence.

One turned up on a Lotus run a few years ago.

The owner used to have an Elise S1 he used to take on the runs then disappeared for a few years.

He then turned up again in an MC 12!

Said he had been working quite hard

Probs Schultz if he still has his

Great Story! Very lucky guy, I would have loved to have seen the guys faces at the meet

There is also an Orange one i think, but that is a Corsa model.

Maserati own or Edo Competition version? Edo had pure orange and orange on black as press shot colour schemes...

Definitely not as nice as the original, but tone the paint down and there have been worse modifications

My son loved this one.
