Some advanced warning for anyone in the North East or anyone who might wish to travel there. Herb Chambers will be presenting his F1 at this event he sponsors. on Sunday Sept 20th, 2015.

Sadly whomever has created the website chose to offer this news with a photo of one of Ralph Lauren's high-mirrored cars instead. :screwy:

Tickets with lunch are $100 and without are $50. The money raised goes to support the local parks.

Thank you for the heads up, Eric! I live in southern Maine so a day trip may be in order. I haven't yet seen an F1 in person so this might be my chance.

I was really really close to seeing 073. A friend of mine had moved to NYC right around the time the car went on display. I couldn't open up my schedule to make the trek down, but she stopped in one day to take a picture - it turns out she walks by Sotheby's daily!

My only other "close encounter" was years ago. I got in touch with Turner Motorsport when *Frank Selldorf still owned LM3 and 007 (?) to ask about the LM. He replied and answered my questions (email) but I never followed up about seeing either car in person. I must have been in high school at the time.

Good - I am glad the advanced notice might help someone out, especially to be able to see their very first McLaren F1. That is always going to be a very memorable experience. I hope that you can make it down there! :cool:

9,567 miles on the odometer - to some almost too many, to others not near enough.

If you can get to the show don't miss your chance!

GREAT NEWS - just been told that admission to the show is actually FREE!!

The $50 ticket is only required if you want to get beyond the ropes for a much closer look at the cars.
