I only had Vid Caps of his F1 before a few weeks ago, when I was advised by a good friend this was his F1 in the top left hand corner of this shot, identified by the highly-polished wheels -

Recently, another good friend made me aware of this pic of chassis #025

As you can see, and as I stated here (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=4948022&postcount=14), there is more than 1 set of wheels for this car ;)

"AWESOME!!!" seems like an understatement. ;)

Come to think of it, I have another VERY tiny photo of this car I will post later. You can all have a bit of a laugh when I do.

Thanks Greg!

It's chassis #018 - are you in need of the rest of those pictures? There's a total of 5, maybe 6, I think. My guess it they were scanned from an issue of RacingLine, but I have not come across that one in my searching.

I have just found that as well as his Mclaren being shown in his "Any Road" video -

- George's F1 makes an appearance in 'The Beatles Anthology', apparently prior to the song 'Free as a bird' and shows George, Paul and Ringo in the car. I've had a search and found the song but not the car - has anyone else managed to find the car and if so can you post a pic?

I always thought George had a silver F1, according to this picture:

On this site they state both the Rocket and the Macca belong to George. http://www.weismann.net/rocket.html

Unfortuantely that site is incorrect - George always had the car from new, and it was never silver. I am unsure about him owning a Rocket; I am sure our very own rocketphile will be able to shed some light on that for you ;)

Aye. He owned R007. He was a very good friend of Chris Craft and GM. I even have some footage on it, shot at Goodwood FOS. http://www.lccrocket.com/content/view/32/2/

Any idea who owns the silver Macca on that pic?
