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.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
