SUMMARY
The MP4-12C was the model that marked the return of McLaren's modern Supercar line-up and is a 'must have' in any serious classic car collection.
DESCRIPTION
Having astonished the world with its debut supercar of 1992 - the iconic, Le Mans-winning F1 - McLaren re-established itself at the head of the exclusive '200mph' club with the MP4-12C. Publicly unveiled in September 2009, the mid-engined MP4-12C commenced manufacture at McLaren's new state-of-the-art factory at Woking in mid-2011, just after production of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren model had ceased. Its stylist was Frank Stephenson, who had been recruited from Alfa Romeo Centro Stile following spells with Ferrari and FIAT. Like its F1 and SLR predecessors, the MP4-12C used a carbon-fibre MonoCell body tub, albeit one that now took considerably less time to produce thanks to advances in composite manufacturing technology. This time the occupants' two seats were arranged conventionally side by side, unlike the F1's unusual three-abreast layout, which placed the driver in the centre, though the use of dihedral doors maintained a familial link with the F1.
Presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, early production example presented in gorgeous Volcano Red complemented by a Carbon Black Alcantara interior. Mileage at the time of cataloguing was just 11,431 and the car boast a full-service history with the most recent by McLaren Leeds in June 2022. The specification is impressive and includes the carbon fibre interior upgrade with carbon fibre engine bay panels, lightweight forged wheels with the ‘Stealth’ finish, parking sensors front and rear, sports exhaust and satellite navigation. It also boats electric and heated memory seats, two sets of keys and more. The full specification is available upon request.
Accompanying the car is the service history including the manuals, Iris user guide, completed service and warranty book and battery trickle charger. The owner has also generously included the private number plate ‘M66 SGP’ and the car will be issued with a fresh MOT prior to the sale.
Innovative, attractive, rapid and fast becoming highly sought-after, market commentators are tipping the model that marked the return of this legendary British manufacturers modern Supercar line-up to be a must have in any noteworthy classic car collection.
