Limited to just 765 examples worldwide, the McLaren 765LT Spider takes everything that defines the Longtail philosophy, with more power, less weight, sharper responses and greater driver involvement, and adds the extra theatre of open-top motoring. With 755bhp, extensive use of carbon fibre, race-derived engineering and its unmistakable quad-exit titanium exhaust, it remains one of McLaren’s most focused road cars, yet the retractable hard top gives the Spider another dimension, allowing you to experience that performance and soundtrack in a way the Coupé simply cannot.

This particular car is an exceptional example, specified from new in MSO Papaya Spark and featuring one of the highest specifications we have come across, including Exterior Carbon Fibre Packs 1, 2 and 3 alongside a host of additional MSO carbon fibre options. The previous owner later added a very high-quality Smoked Chrome Grey wrap, giving the car a more understated and menacing appearance while preserving the original MSO finish beneath, which can of course be revealed again if preferred. It has also been serviced every year by McLaren from new and has just been freshly serviced prior to sale.

Interest in McLaren’s LT models has risen significantly in recent times, led initially by the 675LT and increasingly followed by the 765LT as buyers recognise just how special this generation of cars really is. With McLaren’s future increasingly centred around hybrid powertrains, the 765LT Spider’s combination of limited production, huge performance, lightweight construction and a non-hybrid V8 gives it all the ingredients to stand out as a true future classic.
