Perhaps yours is a prototype and never had the o rings.

I'm looking to buy a McLaren M900 Carbon Fiber fountain pen with paperwork and tube (if possible). Willing to pay a premium. If anyone is interested in selling theirs, or knows a better place to find one, I would greatly appreciate a response!

Hi. I've just signed up here, primarily to find out more information on the McLaren carbon fibre pen.I would love to know the current value as I bought it new from "Team McLaren" (the supporters organization for the formula one team) around 15 years ago. Sadly I don't have proof of purchase but the instruction leaflet is still in the carbon fibre tube case.It has never been used, mainly because it seemed to "skate" although I now believe this was maybe to do with incompatibility to Quink ink.I would describe the condition as immaculate/as new.I do know for certain that few people seem to know anything at all about these rare pens as this is the only website where I have found any reference to these pens.

A couple of years after this topic started......

I recently placed a very low bid on this McLaren pencil on an online auction. Imagine my surprise when I received a message that I was the winner.

Can anybody help me identify this McLaren? I have no box and no papers, nothing.

Thanks for the assistance

Bram

I have a vague memory that there was an article about McLaren in PenWorld years ago.

 

Hi Gary,

Thx for the info. I really appreciate your help.

I did find this article and also several in other magazines. They all mentioned the www.mclaren-pens.com website. However, this does not exist anymore.

I contacted McLaren and they could not help me either.

Pffff. I'm starting to run out of options here.

I was going through a box of "unknown" pens and what do you think that I found. A McLaren MFP-900! And it's all here (outer tube, CF tube, orings in the grooves, and paperwork) and has not been inked! One sold on eBay last year for $1500. I think that I'll put it up on the MPC website as a silent auction with all proceeds going to the Club.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
