Wow - you got to see it! Awesome!!

ER

Wow!!!!

yes i did get to see it ....

it was great. many thanks to mark...

took like 80 photos, but i'm on dial up so....

Dialup is no excuse... :loser: Seriously, I used to use dialup for my first few years over here. Back in the day, mini magic used to put "Peloton warning" notices on threads that had lots of images inside. :lol:

I found that with patience, the only thing I really couldn't do was upload/download videos. 80 images should be no problem... ;)

It's great that you were able to take those pics. I do hope you can share more as this car is like a time capsule from 9 years ago and there really aren't many great shots of it even from when it was racing. You'd be my hero! :thumbsup:

ER

THanks very much for posting those pics, I can't wait to see the rest. IF I ONLY HAD A COOL $1.2 mil. I WANT THAT CAR!

WG

Peleton, I have started to shrink all of the photos, to reasonable sizes. i have taken some of the angle and places i havn't seen on other photos.

give me till tomorrow, i'll post all the photos, have to filter some out.

cheers boys.

the thing is bloodly awesome!!

I've never seen a short tail GTR, so I'm quite jealous.

Glad to hear that others are getting to have the "experience" though! :cool:

Can't wait for whatever you are willing and able to share. :bananasmi

I designed this livery (don't ask - Philip Morris decided the colours!!!) any chance of some hi-res pics as I dont really have many of this the Lark cars?

Andy - I will send you some of the larger images I have of this livery.

engine bay

air intake and the antenna

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/berseeker/DSCN0857.jpg

front bit where the door opens, not many photo of that, and note the thing that pop the front clip open

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/berseeker/DSCN0859.jpg

when door is up, not many photo of these as well, only question was i didn't see any door handles inside the GTR, how the people get the door open from inside, if no one knows, i'll ask mark next time i see him

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/berseeker/DSCN0878.jpg

windsheild wiper, not many photo of that, and note that you can see the tires very clearly through the side air vents

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/berseeker/DSCN0885.jpg

air intake from side pod, almost look like an extra radiator to me, may be pelaton can varify that and exactly where does the air go from here

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/berseeker/DSCN0887.jpg

engine box intake, and note the really cool engine lid hyrolics

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/berseeker/DSCN0888.jpg

rear brake air intake. pretty cool. i think standard car, even the LM didn't have that. so i never knew what the thing on the side was for

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/berseeker/DSCN0890.jpg

just a little teaser of other cars offering in there. don't think you can see many photos of those three together in the same photo. pretty cool

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/berseeker/DSCN0893.jpg

i am still sorting alot of the photos, some were distored

hope you liked it.

The area in that photo is not where you will find the door handles in a McLaren F1. There are typically grab handles there to aid in closing the door once the driver is seated, but on most GTRs those grab handles are missing. Some have it - like #06R and #11R - but others seem to make do with a fabric strap (similar to seatbelt webbing) that is mounted to the middle of the door and hangs down. You can see it in this shot of #10R.

On the LM they chose to install two straps, connected at each end, where you would normally find grab handles in the normal F1. Not sure why they didn't go this route on the GTRs:

The actual door handles to open the doors from the inside are located in the same location on all F1s. They are mounted to the front edge of the passenger seats at the outside corners of the car. I have circled them in this shot of #07R.

That duct feeds air to the oil cooler.

rear brake air intake. pretty cool. i think standard car, even the LM didn't have that. so i never knew what the thing on the side was for

The standard F1 road cars have a smaller vent in that location. However, the road cars do not have that ducting to feed air directly to the rear brakes - the vent just dumps air into the the area with the catalytic converters and some of it might help cool the transmission which is located directly below. You will find the larger vent in your shot on all the GTRs as well as the LM. Here's a shot of LM3 showing the underside of that panel and the rest of the ducting:

Take your time - we'll take anything you can give us. Detail shots of GTRs are rather hard to come by so this is extremely appreciated! :thumbsup:

Loved it by the way. :grinyes:

ER

Very nice and originals pictures !

Thanks

peleton, isn't the oil cooler infront of the engine at the right hand side? may be i'm wrong.

do you have a picture of the that from the inside?

i'll go to MM in a few weeks again, i've already spoke to Mark about taking some photo of GTR16, so i'll take a few more of the Lark car. shame that the lang tail is not coming any more.

oh yeah, PM sent.

Thanks for the pics! You spoke of a long tail "not coming anymore." Could you please elaborate? Which long tail was supposed to be going to MM? Thanks in advance.

Isn't that where that vent is in your photo?

I do on the LM, but it's not the best angle:

That does sound like a shame. Tell us the rest of that story if you can. :iceslolan

ER

anyone have detailed photos of a long tail gtr? id like to see them long tail gtr are hard to find

Any more pics/information on this car now? :)

Word on the street is that it has left Australia after a very short stay and was either headed to the UK, or somewhere in Europe.

>8^)
ER

oh bugger! :(

UK. I've said that numerous times

Good for you. :p

I designed this livery (don't ask - Philip Morris decided the colours!!!) any chance of some hi-res pics as I dont really have many of this the Lark cars?
Any chance that you have a color reference? In some shots it looks quite dark, almost red, in others it appears to be fluorescent pink...
A Glasurit, PPG or Dupont code would be awesome!

It is like a floursecent called 'Rocket' pink, which from memory means 7 layers of paint/lacquer, just like the 'rocket red' on the Marlboro McLarens (and Penskes)

Good for you. :p

You said "Word on the street is that it has left Australia after a very short stay and was either headed to the UK, or somewhere in Europe."

I've heard from a very reliable source that its going to the UK. Have you heard that its going to Europe? I was commenting on the fact that you said uk or europe.

I've heard one thing from you, and another thing from someone else. I know who your source was, but I know where my info comes from too. We'll just have to see where it ends up.

I thought you were just giving our new guy a hard time for asking a question that had already been answered. My apologies. :)

>8^)
ER

How do you know my source? U sure about that?

I read your email. :naughty:

Remember:

I get all my new photos by hacking into mini magic's computer while he's not there.
He makes it really easy because his password is "mclaren". :lol2:

>8^)
ER

I highly doubt that you know who my source is unless he's specifically told you about me.

WOW I love The F1 Color and texture they apply to it ,And a COOL F40 Btw! ;)
