McLaren Owners -- Do not ever misplace your fuel funnel if you ever had one. I never had one delivered with my vehicle. It is virtuously impossible to add fuel from anything other than a proper pump nozzle without the funnel, I asked to replace it when I was in for service. $133 for a plastic funnel. Should have been $20 max. I have filtered funnels that are $20 that prevent water etc. McLaren are you f'in nuts? What happens should you run out of fuel? The McLaren fill port is an "Easy Fuel" capless filler. Funnels are available from Ford. This is strike one as to why I shall never again buy a McLaren. AND I LOVE MY 12C to death but McLaren as a company--a lot to be desired. Good thing the P1's are sold out. I shall not be inquiring.

If that's truly how you feel, maybe you should just sell it now instead of waiting for strikes two and three. I hear your point, but any old funnel will do. Just grab one from the kitchen and get back to driving.

There are several dozen on eBay from 8 bux. Lighten up Francis. Buy a key for dodge... It's $225.
All these cars are a ridiculous proposition before you get anywhere near the emergency capless fuel filler funnel.
My dealer said it's $133 because they were tested in a wind tunnel and approved for use up to 207 mph. So there.

I don't see what the problem is here, so it takes a special funnel to fill your tank incase you run out of gas, wow.... This funnel costs +$100 if you loose or misplace it just don't do either on top of which don't run out of gas. So the thing costs approximately .0005% of the total cost of your car that deserves another big wow. As I always say it's not the end of the world or c'est pas la fin du monde. If that really bothers you I would definitely get rid of the car in a hurry. Cheers.....??

Ford sold 2,168,015 vehicles in 2012. McLaren sold less than 2,000. I'm not sure you are making the apples to apples comparison that you think you are.
The answer is, don't buy McLaren's funnel if you think it is overpriced. The other answer is, when buying a used McLaren make sure you get that damn overpriced funnel.

I'm surprised you did not get the MSO special edition.........faster filling and carbon fibre with the weave arranged in a clockwise route for Northern Hemisphere customers and anti-clockwise for Southern Hemisphere customers......... Sales on the equator have both.
