2011 MCLAREN MP4-12C

KEY FACTS

• A highly specified yet very low-mileage example of the modern British supercar, benefiting from comprehensive main dealer history.
• Large amount of additional elements including an ‘Elite’ paint finish and high levels of carbon-fibre ‘Stealth Pack’ detailing.
• Under the engine lid is a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8, which drives the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shift.
• Chassis number 39 was built in the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC) alongside the 2011 F1 car of 2011, the MP4-26; as signified by a unique image signed by Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, which will be supplied with the car. After the first 100 or so cars, production switched to the MPC facility.
• It has just two owners from new having been first registered in 2011, and the vendor acquired the car six years ago.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• It is finished in Silver Supernova from McLaren’s Elite range offset with ‘Stealth Pack’ carbon-fibre details inside and out including the door mirrors, engine cover, rear diffuser and front splitter.
• Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Carbon Black leather and Alcantara and continues the exterior’s carbon theme with the centre console using the lightweight material.
• The cabin is offset with McLaren Orange stitching.
• A high-end Meridian sound system delivers the audio and the car has both McLaren sat-nav and a tracker fitted.
• The car rides on the optional ‘Super Lightweight’ alloy wheels finished in matt grey with McLaren Orange callipers, which are in pristine condition.
• Hydraulic suspension with ProActive Chassis Control and the Formula One-sourced ‘brake steer’ system.
• Its original owner’s manuals, service book, warranty documentation and trickle charger will be included, along with a raft of maintenance invoices and MOT certificates dating back to 2015.
• The car is supplied with the custom-made McLaren dust cover.

CONDITION

• No bodywork damage; and its silver paintwork is in excellent condition, bar one 2cm blemish to the offside rear wing.
• The skirt has been fitted with anti-scratch covering, and there is very minor stone chip commensurate with the low mileage of the car.
• Inside, the cabin is in excellent condition with black leather seats showing only light creases, again in line with the low usage of the car.
• All of the electrics are believed to work as they should.
• The most recent MOT test was on 5 March 2021 at 9,493 miles, which was a first-time pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its last routine maintenance was a full service in March 2021 at 9,493 miles, where technicians at McLaren Ascot performed a seven-year service schedule, also replacing the aerodynamic trim and wheel arch liner seal.
