At the moment it is going to be business as normal. If there were massive job losses then it would be a different scenario.

‘Keys and paperwork left in a safe place’ - yes, in the owner’s house. Transfer the money to me and contact them to collect 😂

So which of you has bought it? Don’t get in a bidding war and push the price up 😃

I have no use for it and imagine without offering finance it would be a pig to sell.

Always fund the SUV AMG's kinda pointless, I remember seeing one in that style towing an Aston Vantage GT4 race car to Spa, and lol'ing that it was probably thirstier than the car on the trailer..

Around town the diesel ones do 18mpg.

GT4 Vantages aint that quick btw, although they do sound glorious!

I’m enjoying this process of people trying to decide what thread to put that in and deciding on a different thread. That’s three so far :lol:

I was wondering about that 720s in another thread and looked at the t and C's last night. Am I right in thinking the buyer has to pay collecting cars 6 percent on top or is it the seller out of the sale price?

He's selling cars owned by other people - how has he made a loss that size?

There are a few McLaren 720s already for sale at dealers in the £139-145k bracket so the auction price only reflects the prices already being asked.

Probably 250k lent to the new company from a group company to show a loss and not pay tax? :D

It’s so far just the Mclaren Crash Apocalypse which has been happening for a few years now, namely as soon as you drive one of the bloody cars off the forecourt that’s 20% of your money in the bin :lol:
