BUYING BACK My Old McLaren 675LT Coupe?

Показать описание
My former McLaren 675LT Coupe Shmeemobile is back on the market! After 4 years with its previous owner, the car is now for sale with Bramley Motor Cars - from where I bought my Ferrari GTC4Lusso last year. With my Senna wearing a matching spec, let's get the two reunited and think about whether it could make a return to the garage.

Having previously owned two other McLarens, the MP4-12C and 650S Spider, the 675LT was actually the first ever supercar I bought from brand new and chose the spec for myself. As my 12C had been wrapped in a gloss metallic bright blue, the similarities to MSO Cerulean Blue made it the only real option for the LT when I was making the choices. It was finished with all the exposed carbon fibre options with a satin finish, the stealth wheels and polished silver calipers. On the inside it's a mix of black Alcantara and leather, with light blue stitching, embroidery and the lovely Cerulean Blue painted Handling and Powertrain toggles in the Active Dynamics Panel.

When the 675LT launched, McLaren originally only intended to make 500 Coupes, but given they then later announced a Spider version was to follow, I made the decision to change up and go open top. However, I also knew at the time that I had put in my letter of intent for the next Ultimate Series car, a hardcore track monster codenamed P15 with a fixed roof only. That car of course has become the Senna, for which I very much based my spec on what I had done before with my 675LT Coupe.

I will never forget the experience buying the car; from choosing the spec, to seeing it at the factory, taking delivery, the first drive and road trips. However, when it comes to my garage I'm a big fan of a variety of driving experiences and with the 675LT Spider built on the same carbon tub and therefor no loss of driving dynamics, I don't believe it would make sense to have two of the 'same car'. It would be better to look towards something new like a 2005 Ford GT, SL65 Black Series, LFA, or even my recent acquisition of the SLS AMG Black Series.

For the outing to share one of the original Shmeemobiles with you, naturally it makes sense to pick the Senna, to reunite the two Cerulean Blue McLarens back together. The last time they were in the same place was at the McLaren Technology Centre for collection day of the Senna 18 months prior, but how good do they look out in the sun side by side?!

My old McLaren 675LT Coupe is up for sale! 4 years after I sold it, the car is back on the market with Bramley Motor Cars. With an outing in the Senna to get them side-by-side, there's no doubt that the 675LT looks stunning in Cerulean Blue...

Fun fact, on average Tim said 'Cerulian Blue' once every 1 minute 26 seconds in this video. 😂

I like that 675LT Coupe so much more than the sypder, sorry Tim but the spec of the Coupe is just one of the best you can make it.

You NEED to buy this car back. Think of all of the memories with it and the old blue crew. The videos with YOUR 675lt are among the best, especially the ones where it is down in Monaco. This car is part of the Shmeemobiles family! Don’t let it go away!

McLaren 675LT: Who are you?
McLaren Senna: I'm you. But track focused.

When i Saw The Truck Behind Tim In The Highway, and He Is In The Senna, I Imagined the Truck Driver Saying 'Here We Go Again'

You know you need it back in your garage, it's one of those cars. Maybe at 3 million subs?

Crazy to think it's already been almost 5 years since you got this car, feels like it was just last year you picked up the green 650s. Didn't realize how long I've been watching your content!

If you do get your 675LT back, then what you said long long ago of having all your 3 McLarens will come true. Oh I cant wait

I believe the blue P1 is based in Scotland and the owner also has/had a matching 918. Great video
