KEY FACTS

• A well-specified example of the marque’s first modern-day supercar, presented in excellent overall condition and with very low mileage from new.
• It is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, delivering 616bhp to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shift.
• The odometer displays just 13,978 miles, which is fully supported by the car’s maintenance history.
• This MP4-12C is covered by a full Platinum Plus warranty until February 2024 for added peace of mind.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This McLaren was specified with white paintwork and a number of contrasting carbon-fibre items, including the door mirror casings, the rear diffuser, the side air intakes, the front splitter, and the engine cover.
• Inside, the cabin is trimmed in red leather and black Alcantara, with a carbon-fibre centre console, steering wheel, and door card inlays.
• Factory-fitted equipment includes cruise control, dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors and a Meridian sound system.
