The 600 LT continues, found a car for sale but in a colour I've never seen in person "MSO Helios Orange" and as it was relatively local I decided to go pay a visit. It seems to photograph more towards red end of the spectrum but in person the colour is a very deep orange with a light pearlescent, in fact it is a bloody stunning colour, remains bright and bold in the shade too.
Exterior wise for me it is an absolute dream specification, diamond cut wheels, CF packs 1&2, PPF.
The Spider certainly adds to the theatre, the whip cracks are addictive and I manage to get an un-accompanied test drive, well Briony came along. It also has additional carbon on interior and only 2000 miles.
Downsides:
- Comfort seats, the positive is though they are heated, ideal in a Spider I guess. Just Senna seats looks awesome though somewhat uncomfortable and P1 buckets hold you perfect but seem to fall apart.
- No coloured stitching or belts, so quite a dark interior and just basic speaker system.
Fairly priced at 159k, no warranty but as part of a deal the car would be inspected by Mclaren and a warranty put on as the car is current SOR, I am very tempted but they need to knock a few grand off especially as the market is softening at the moment, of course the GT3 is now gone so I am ready to buy, car had no issues I could find, no corrosion, brakes and tyres like new, but its 2000 miles you'd hope that was the case.
Gonna think it over the weekend, as its a car I'd drive mainly on road, maybe comfort seats is the better seat. Last picture tries to capture the sparkle, here is a video also:
