I just received an early report through a friend that suggests that McLaren has abandoned the Park Lane showroom in London.
He had messaged me earlier in the week, knowing about my interest in the F1, as he was trying to get the exact address so his parents could stop by to see the car. They had been there several years back, but were a little unsure of its location on their return trip.
I provided the address, as well as the relevant info about XP5 being displayed there. Today he responded with this bit of info:
"My dad went by the McLaren showroom this morning. It is closed now and the showroom is empty. So unfortunately, I will have no pictures of the 'XP5'. Thanks for providing me with the showroom and car information."
I asked him to confirm that they had vacated it and he said he will confirm with his dad to be sure. It sounds to me like it is closed for good. I'll provide an update once he gets back to me.
Hopefully this means that the McLaren Museum at the Paragon/McLaren Tech Center will be opening soon.
