McLaren MP4-12C spotted

[si2085]

Pretty (actually very) excited to have seen my first McLaren MP4-12C on the public roads last night, and perhaps more surprisingly it was not in central London but in fact near Kidderminster! Just posting on the off chance that anyone else saw it on their travels around 8.30pm?

Quite surprised to have seen one so soon after they became available for retail sale.

No pictures taken unfortunately as I driving.

That is all.

Are they actually for sale yet? I don't think they are until later in the year...

Happy to stand corrected - it must have been a press car.

It went past while I was waiting at a T junction, I gave serious thought to following it but the O/H kindly reminded me that our destination was in the opposite direction

Think I saw the same one, Thought it was a kitcar! It was a turquoise and black colour.

Was it a light blue colour?

A mate of mine saw two in the same blue colour around Shropshire way a few months ago. I know there's plenty of money out that way but there's can't be too many of these going around.

I think the 'light blue colour' is actually a protective film.

I've seen an orange one give it beans off a roundabout on the A1 in hertfordshire, looked and sounded immense! Had me smiling all day long!

Pretty sure I saw this in Blackpool recently. I thought it was a Ferrari that had taken a beating but the rear end had me stumped.

I thought it looked weird. I saw a rubbish phone pic so put it down to the image quality.
