I love these "realistic" videos. Sometimes when we watch we tune in and just sort of assume you're a billionaire and none of these costs are actually significant to you. It's awesome to see the way you budget for these cars and make the numbers work. You think about these things the same way I do even though I own one sports car and you own a fleet lol! Keep it up guys! The Shmuseum channel has been fantastic since day 1!

Honestly considering the purchase price of the car. If you think of these running costs in comparison to the rrp it's really not that bad. I expected more damage!

I love this, it’s so good get a real insight into what sort of figures go into not just buying, but maintaining a collection like this. Brilliant 👏

Thank you for your honesty Tim. One of the costs I was surprised with was the PPF. I thought it was going to be closer to 10k or so. Overall it’s all about the experience. Money comes and goes but experiences last forever!

Such a beautiful car, gotta be one of my favorites in the shmee collection.

One of your best videos! Why? Because it was realistically applied with not repeating claims and specs, a rather simple cost analysis! Thumbs up 👍👍

A great insight on costs Tim. The 650s is for us the greatest in regards to McLaren value . All the best Vint-tro.

I absolutely love your LT. Really is one of my favourites in the garage!

Great video, very interesting! Although quite expensive, not as bad as I thought you were going to say!

Love these videos. It’s good to see what sort of costs these cars accrue over time. I think it would be cool if you did a few more of these for the different level of cars in the collection.. one with one of the “cheaper” cars (focus Rs heritage) and also for the “hero” car (senna/gt) for example.

Good, honest, informative video Tim.

Excellent content. Appreciate the in-depth look at the runnings of a machine of the sort. All figures were somewhat expected apart from the depreciation. This however, will taper out and quite likely go in the opposite direction in due course. 👌

I would love to see more videos like this on other cars in the collection! So interesting!

This is probably my favorite car in the collection! The silver wheels look so so good! I think shmee changed a lot of minds about silver wheels 😅

I'm loving these kind of videos... Tim do all the keeper cars ...

Still my favorite car in your fleet, hands down one of the prettiest you own.. and the bangs on the upshifts you get with these are just.. 🤤

I love the strategically places ads in all of shmees videos👍

Thanks Tim, I love these videos. In the future videos can you talk numbers on the Ford GT and Mclaren Senna as well.

Besides the possibly 13K for new disks, i can't say i was especially surprised by any of the other numbers. ..but getting a run-down was great. More of this, yes please :)

The Shmuseum Great Video I think insane that you've paid that Much money for your 675LT in 5 years and I can't wait to see how expensive all of your cars are

Well I love this channel a lot as I get to see the team and other important key features for maintaining cars plus the 675lt spider with silver is amazing its just everyone prefer dark wheels that the silver ppl don't opt

Another great Shmee video, many thanks. And, it's not just supercars that can be expensive to own and operate either. I purchased a 1976 Volkswagen Golf LS 5-door manual hatch for aud$6,000 and kept it in mint condition too with good insurance, etc and my yearly maintenance service costs were $2,000 to $3,000 which also included grease and oil changes at 10,000 km intervals. Incredibly expensive but my car, at the time, was a beast performance wise and would cruise all day long at 145 km/hr and never miss a beat and still have the driest gray exhaust(!). So, basically, like the Schmee McLaren if you're going to look after your vehicle and keep it at tip-top performance and condition it will cost a significant amount!

Depreciation - the elephant in the room of new car sales! I find it interesting that some cars, almost all, depreciate faster than a piano in free fall initially, then usually slow their rate of depreciation, then sometimes plateau. Few reach absolutely zero value if looked after, and then of course there’s those special cars that start appreciating with time and variables such as low build numbers, race history, and / or celebrity ownership (occasionally, depending on the celebrity!). Who would have thought twenty years ago McLaren F1 values would be where they are today? And then there’s the next elephant about to enter the room - as more countries turn their backs on internal combustion engined vehicles what effect will that have on values? Some suggest values will dive, as more cities place restrictions on their use, not to mention fuel sales, and other folks say the values will climb as rarity value kicks in. Going to be interesting to watch, only time will tell which camp is right. Meanwhile, as far as I can see the only real answer is to get out there in your favourite cars and enjoy driving them!

Every time I see your new garage the Shmuseum. I look for the 675 first I love it its got everything you would need out of a supercar 😁

Right on!

It's my personal favorite out of your current cars and I definitely know how the depreciation isn't really as big a deal as it sounds. I do agree too, once the world goes full hybrid/electric, the petrol cars will rebound for sure in value. Also being a painter, the best thing for the custom color honestly is just a full respray. That's really the only way to not paint the front end over and over to get it to match. Even factory cars can be quite something to match.

I cannot believe how much those 675LT depreciated considering that apart from the P1, it might be McLaren best supercar evermade

Really interesting video! 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽 You should do a video of the cheapest compared to the most expensive

Very informative and interesting for me as a 675LT owner. Like you I am in it for the long term but I decided to self under write the warranty and so far have saved 12k as the car has been good. Lower miles and a switch to P Zero's for dry and wet road use has also meant lower tyre costs. A great car to drive and the combination of a 1230kg dry kerb weight, good power and the very best steering and driving position is hard to beat.

Next time you do this it would be great to add an excel sheet or something similar at the end, will make comparing the cars much easier and also could serve as a nice nerdy thing at the end

When you do the conversions from Pounds to USD I think that’s pretty normal. I think the insurance requirements are different because I’ve never once been asked about what kind of security we have.

Fantastic video. Amazing to understand the real world costs of owning such an amazing car and very brave to let us all know. Would love to know how much the Taycan costs you after a few years of ownership as an EV!

Would be interesting what money the LT has made from its videos and ad revenue. Does that go to cover the running cost? And, I was expecting higher £ figures for the running of it

Tim, thanks for sharing your private experiences with maintanence. Its shocking how poor I am, even driving a f01 7 series XD

Seems like a good guy and a very interesting video. Thanks

The depreciation PER YEAR is close to what I paid for my new Ford Ranger! Very cool video.

Great content!

I want a video like this for all cars then a video at the end comparing costs among all of the cars.

Excellent content!! Although I feel like you may have just committed yourself to replicating this video on the whole fleet, one by one 😂

I would really love to know more about the AMGs, especially the GT Black Series and the C63 AMG Black Series. love to know what modifications are up for both those cars

Man it might have caused some issues and I know you don't need reminding but that purple is just stunning and worth it! Huge fan of purple and if I ever own a McLaren one day it will be purple for sure! Truly something to dream of...

The 675LT has always been my favorite car in the collection. (I'd want to drive a Senna or Ford GT first, but if I could *keep* one of the cars, 675LT.)

Very interesting Tim…not such big numbers other than the depreciation. Is it worth it?…yes I would say do but then the figures for your whole collection combined much be really frightening! You are very brave and I hope it all continues to work out for you. Stay safe…😃😃😃

Great video. I was interested in these numbers. I am a 12c owner that bought used so I avoided that big loss being depreciation.

Very interesting video. To compare, the road tax for my SLK350 here in Bulgaria is 130 GBP, the mandatory insurance is 113 GBP and the optional insurance is about 100 GBP per year. What crazy numbers in the UK :). Tim, please do the AMG GT-R. I'm hoping to get one of those as soon as the market and prices calm down a bit.

Wow that was a surprise, an average of 6k per year is way less than expected. Fantastic insight Tim, would be interesting to see how much the comparison costs are on the Aston Martin, being the other British manufacturer, especially on the depreciation 🤔

Have things like the big move to the shmuseum, or the little dink you had oh the front of the car when you were on tour, or the fact you go abroad a lot effected the insurance prices of your cars, or does it fluctuate a lot. It also makes me cry a little knowing that it costs the same for you to insure a Mclaren, as it does me (An 18 year old) to insure a 1.0L Polo. shows how much they dont want us teenagers on the road haha. Keep up the amazing work on this channel!!

#Shquad.....hi Tim, yep the costs of this one didn't suprise me too much except I think it's done well considering the pitfalls that can happen. Enjoy the financial costs but would like a proper tour around each car like this but including the things on the car. Great video as ever buddy 👊 😎😎😎

Great to get an idea of costs. The only surprise for me was the cost of the brake disks. My pretty basic Porsche costs more to maintain than the McLaren! And that surprised me as well.

The cost of the 675 is a little less then I would have guessed.

@Wertical21

1800 for insurance was a huge surprise. absolute bargain for UK prices.

The figures are not surprising. Having owned many Mercs, BMW and now Porsche the depreciation is something new owners must consider. Frankly, these and all of your cars do not deserve sadistic depreciation, when dual cab utilities and Mazdas etc have less depreciation. Thanks for sharing. Remember in life you only get one lap - make the best of it!

Love this video Tim!! Please more more more cars :) what about the Ford GT or Senna?? :) or the AMG GTRs you’ve owned

I think those costs are very reasonable! When you add it across multiple cars is when it really starts to hurt. But the 675 is definitely a keeper! Would be nice to see another road-trip in Europe in the LT.

maintenance cost over 5 years is not bad at all. Thank you for sharing

Wow Tim! I’m surprised at the maintenance cost! Every time I take my wife’s G Wagon in for service. It cost around $1500. Even when I took my Huracan in for service, it only cost me $750. Again what I find so surprising is the amount it costs from your McLaren to my wife’s Mercedes!! Crazy!

Very informative, can you do a circuit of all the cars as it would be very interesting..... also i thought you bought them all outright?

Hi Shmee, very interesting overview of the financials of owning such a car, in full transparency. Thanks very much. Regarding depreciation, do you think there is often a point where value stop decreasing (at the end of the usual lease period for instance)? Wouldn't it the best window to buy such cars (providing increased service costs do not compensate for the smaller amount of depreciation)?

The 675LT is one of my favorites. I'd prefer a 720S over the 765LT (just based on comfort). 675LT is pure emotion!

I love the GT8 so anything with that in it would get my thumbs up lol love the channel Shmee 👍

Very insightful 👍

Awesome thanks for that Tim

My favorite spec of the all shmeemobiles. I've only ever driven a 12C and I found it pretty boring honestly, but I would love to drive a 675LT one day. Beautiful car Tim.

Very interesting and thank you for your honesty. Makes my m4 seem like a bargain at £81k new had for 3 years I’ve spent not even £3k in total for servicing tax and insurance. Mines a keeper also so don’t care about depreciation. Yo in did forget about fuel cost tho at around £70 per 200 miles

those costs sound very reasonable to me. my friend has a similar collection and works at 10k per car per year to run/look after and ignores the depreciation as he wont be selling.

I love the LT, it’s a stunning spec

love the 675lt, very intresting more of these vids please 👍 😀

Hi Shmuseum please do a video about the running costs of your Mclaren 675LT, people will love to hear about it.

Great video!

I really like these kind of videos can you do one with all of your cars

Thanks Awesome detail Did your insurance go up in the barn?

It would be really interesting to see if the GT equals out the same, considering the continuing over sticker from new.

Great video. My 2015 DBS volante is quite similar in running costs overall although depreciation is not that high as i have only done 7,000 miles. But really interesting. Break pads were a bit of shock. Mine haven’t been changed yet. Are the 675LT ceramic pads? Guess I’m looking at something like £13k soon lol 😂 Would love to see the same type of video for the G wagon because you did the topaz skin and the exhaust system. Also when you bring the GT500 over does the fact it’s left hand drive increase insurance? Once again Shmee great video! As always my daughter says hi huge fan lol 😂 Thanks Mike

I'd love to see a video about a rough estimation of what the actual shmuseum has cost so far i.e build cost etc

I feel like values at this age with Macs in particular are so deiminished because of the stigma of reliability that has cast a bit of a shadow. As Tim rightfully said, it seems as though the 675LT as a model has largely escaped this so it makes sense that as they come out of warranty and begin to 'prove themselves' that values should stabilise and, really, begin to rise. There aren't a lot of these cars and they are super special. Once people realise that they can trust them, I think we will see a lot more buyers persuing them.

Great content. Would love to see this kind of video with the Senna and Ford GT.

We're planning to feature more of the individual Shmeemobiles in the future!

very interesting breakdown and i guess when analysed in isolation the depreciation is indeed eye watering. However, lets be under no illusion... your senna allocation most likely came about because of your 675LT purchase and the exposure you gave McLaren over the last 5 years. so when viewed in those terms... maybe it was worth it.
