If they were £110k region I would have one. There are loads for sale but no buyers due to the impending financial suicide I suppose.

Give 'em a year or two. 650 Spiders were 220k+ and you can now get a beautifully spec'd one for £110k.

A well kept and spec’d 720S has to always be worth £100k I would guess.
It’s one of the better built Mclarens, the latest models appear to be rubbish with loads of quality issues.

The biggest challenge with Maccas, I think, is the service network. Sod all, more or less, in Europe and only one indie (Thorney) here. Add to that the high cost of warranty (although Thorney will sell its own warranty) and the challenge of selling the bugger when the time comes and I reckon if you get into a Macca you better want a keeper. I'd really love one, but can't help but feel that it'd be a bloody nuisance. Still, I shall continue to window shop and watch the prices easing down.

In the meantime, pork and prancing nags are feeling like a more sensible / less stupid route. I've had a cracking time this weekend in a loaner Panamera Turbo. What a bloody weapon! And the active aero spoiler thingy is great to see working in the mirrors.

I don't need any tempting as haven't bought anything for a while!

For once though I'm pretty happy with the current lot. I've a British sports 2 seater V8 convertible/targa in the garage I bought last year and have driven yet so looking forward to putting some miles on her. The 320bhp and 1060kg should make it decent fun

Needs to be £5k max IMHO anyway as a decent less than 10k miler can be had for well under £10k.

Makes the TVR seem silly high prices which is what I've said all along.

Guessing it has had its IMS bearing replaced at that mileage.

I know you are aware of how good they are Dean.
I was trying to tempt Andy K :)

Looks lovely and well looked after Phil....and I would get around 6k for my car but too many miles for me. If it was a weekend toy fine but not doing 20k o year.
