Vehicle Description
Low mileage, high specification, strong McLaren service history and the all-important 650S mechanical upgrades – this example really does tick every box. It’s a car that has been carefully specified, properly maintained, and enjoyed exactly as McLaren intended.
Specification
Over £21,460 of factory options were selected by the first owner, and they’re the right ones. The result is a car that looks and sounds every inch the 200mph+ weapon it is, while retaining the comfort and usability to drive across Europe to the Autobahn without fatigue.

Summary
As McLaren’s first true road car, this model still feels special today. Performance remains genuinely mind-blowing by modern standards, yet the ride quality and suspension setup make it more comfortable than most cars on the road. That’s the genius of McLaren engineering.
Could this be a future classic? We don’t see why not, when you weigh up it being the foundation car for the brand.
