Hi!
I visited Gothenburg Motorshow 2004 a while back. Among other cars such as Maybach 620, Porsche Carrera GT (a favorite!) and Schumachers Ferrari F1 (don't remember which year) was two McLaren F1:s. I guess the orange one is #11R, but this time it had a license plate. But I donät know anything about the longtail, could someone please fill me in on that one?

you took some nice pics , thx anund

yes , the orange gtr should be #11R and the white fina car #23R.

^_^

you can find some other information in this older thread:

^_^

some more info on #11r from the swedish vehicle authorities:

Oh, I didn't see that other post.

Great photos - thanks!

Can you translate the last photo of the sign to English for us? I can understand the basics, but I'm curious what it's referring to where it mentions the Mercedes V12 engine. :confused:

Thanks Anund,

In Sweden, you are lucky enough to see regularly F1 :)

Ciao

McLaren - a living legend
The first McLaren-car was presented 1993 in Monaco, hence it's 10-year anniversary 2003. It's the finest and most well built car ever produced. There has been 107 McLarens built in total. XP-1, the first prototype, is the only McLaren F1-car ever destroyed. It burned up during the final testing in "hot" climate 1992.
Le Mans 24 hours 1995 was won by a McLaren F1, which also has the official speed record for manufactured street legal cars, 240.1 mph = approx. 386.7 km/h

Orange McLaren F1 GTR
This McLaren F1 GTR (1996) is the so-called "Frank Muller" McLaren that raced in the BPR-serie 1996-97. It also served as a test-bench for McLaren Motorsport when they tested the Mercedes V12-engine. It's been rebuilt for street use by McLaren Cars Ltd and is registered in Sweden.

Engine: BMW V12 6.1 liters, approx. 600 hp 7000 rpm, approx. 700 Nm 4000 rpm
Drive Train: 6-gear sequential
Weight: 1012 kg
Performance: Acceleration 1-100 km/h 3.2 sec. Top speed approx. 340 km/h

The weird thing is that I don't know what the McLarens where doing there. There where no ads for any company or similar, just the cars. I didn't mind though.

was there anything written about the owner, or did you ask any questions?

11r is AFAIK part of Tom Bryant-Meissner's collection (which also contains cars like dauer eb110ss, dauer 962lm, mclaren f1 road car (green), jag xj220, diablo gt, porsche gt1, merc clk gtr, f50 +++). according to some swedes on an other forum I visited some time ago (unfortunately I can't remember which), several of his cars are available for sale at ks-autohandel in germany, where 23r also is located, so there seems to be a connection between ks-autohandel and pacific sportscars (the registered owner of 11r and the dauer eb110ss (I haven't seen any swedish licence plates on any of the other meissner-owned cars, so I haven't been able to check them out))

drPhibes: I belive that he also owns/has owned #51, dark green, as can be seen on my other pictures in link removed . I was told in another post on this forum that he was selling that one, so I don't know who owns it now. The licenseplate number was RJC 547, at least back in 2001 (I think...).

EDIT: I noticed now that you can make out the license plate at least partially on the Porsche 911 GT1. RRS *49, I think it's RRS 349. Crappy camera.

maartenvanthek: I didn't se any more signs, and there was nobody there. "Only" the two McLarens, I couldn't even find any connection to any company.

you know anything of a tom bryant meissner?

anund - thanks for the translation and the new #051 photos. :cool:

Wow - you don't mess around. :D

It should be noted that #051 is technically a 1996 road car and not a 1995. At least that is what McLaren considers the car to be based on the build date.

omg, thanks a lot for the gt1's vin. i appreciate it. btw, its a 996gt1, not a 993.

the data is taken from the swedish vehicle authorities, so it apparently says that it is a 993 in the registration documents. I don't know anything about porsches, so don't ask me :)

anund - thanks for the translation and the new #051 photos. :cool:

No problem, but I actually posted the photos of #51 before, in this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=172254
The link in that thread is dead now, but it's the same photos.

Thanks to drPhibes for the registration info.

omg, thanks a lot for the gt1's vin. i appreciate it. btw, its a 996gt1, not a 993.

Actually, it isn't. The original versions of the GT1 were based off of the front structure of the 993s.

FWIW the chassis numbers for all of the GT1s start w/ "GT1-" except for the '98s which are "GT1/98-". I need to clarify that this was for the race cars, not the few road cars.

EDIT: OR, Mr. Bernoulli's reference is even better.

This may help:

So the mclaren in the background is the other one owned by Tom Bryant-Meissner.

lynx_effect: Yes, but that must be the worst picture of it you could find among my pictures...

True. I was basing my answer on body style. I'm making a chassis list of the gt1's and thats why i thanked you.

really? i didn't go through all of them, i'll be sure to now though if there are better ones.

cheers.

Thanks for the pics anund. There Sick Do u always take pics? Do u have other Galleries?

jcsaleen:
Glad you liked them. These are the only two galleries I have, but I do have som more pics on the computer, from other car shows. Not very much on McLaren though, only some on #11R which I think I have posted before. But I can post them if anyone want to see them.

that would certainly be appreciated!!

As requested I have uploaded my other pictures. They aren't top notch, some are plain bad, so don't expect too much.

thanks alot

What is that loop of cable sticking out between the tail pipes for? Towing out of gravel traps?

yup, that's mandatory on most race cars, it allows for fast removal in case of a crash
