The car entered the main dealer network through McLaren Glasgow where it was sold to its first ‘human’ keeper (name unknown), who kept it until 2016. Not much is known about the period 2015 – 2016, except that it possibly resided in the South West of England or Wales? – due to it being serviced by McLaren Bristol.

The car was purchased by Andrew W in March 2016, a McLaren enthusiast – previously had MP4-12C. The car was purchased via the trusted McLaren specialist Alastair Bols. The car resided in the Southampton area.
Shortly after purchase, the five spoke wheels were upgraded, replaced with OE ten spoke wheels in gloss black. A Smart-top remote controller was also fitted. The same ten spoke wheels and remote controller remain fitted to the car in 2026. As of 2026, Andrew still retains the original five spoke wheels.
In 2016, Andrew collaborated with the popular YouTuber Petrol Ped during a Wilton House car event. For a detailed review of the actual car visit the Petrol Ped YouTube channel > https://youtu.be/BuB0hpokMUw?si=t65aLhcEwtxMomzt

Purchased by Mike B in 2022 – via Hills Prestige. The car resided in the Hull area. As evidenced by invoices and the service booklet, Mike continued with Thorney Motorsport for servicing and maintenance during 2023 and 2024, changing to the more local and northern based Jack Webb Motorsport (JWM) in 2025.

Advertised privately through a McLaren enthusiast social media group, the car was subsequently purchased by McLaren enthusiast, Mick L – Mick has previously owned two 720S. The car was known to Mick through a McLaren Owners Club event he had previously attended. Already knowing of the impressive specification and service history, Mick grasped the opportunity and quickly acquired the car.
The car now resides in the North East Lincolnshire area, still remaining with JWM as the trusted McLaren independent specialist for servicing and maintenance.
Mick had the wheels refinished in OE silver colour, as well as the replacement and refurbishment of various items. Mick’s plan is to visually return the car to as near as possible to build specification, but retaining the upgraded OE wheels and remote controller.
