Hey Greg - your pics need a little shuffling.

This is #063 - now in Hong Kong:

This is #064 - unsure where it has ended up:

#068 now in Costa Rica added, and I've tidied up the order of the cars listed

Peloton25

I have been told there is a red F1 in Singapore - either chassis #004 or #021. My source stated it was "Blood Red - non-metallic color" which has me leaning more towards #021. Unfortunately I do not have any photos to share, but hopefully some will materialize in the future. It is my understanding that the car has been there for a very long time and is kept covered and out of sight. Its owner also has a Jaguar XJ220 stored in the same location.

The silver car is more likely #063 based on past discussions.

That's quite a nice collection they have sitting there. When the worst car in the room is a Ford GT, you really aren't doing too bad.

Someone from Singapore confirmed that there is a red F1 there. He wouldn't want to tell names or show pictures, because of privacy. But I think it is currently located at the local Bentley distributor. The car is kept covered up there for the owner.

The car is at Malayan Motors and I do believe it's parked next to the XJ220. It is covered like the XJ220 and like chassis #068 that I saw, still has the travel lugs fitted. I wish I could share the photos I have seen, but they don't offer much more detail. There was no shot of the chassis plate or even the interior unfortunately.

Where can I actually find that sticker? I'm looking through my #014 and #016 shots and can't find where that plate is located on either of those. I'm sure I could find it after some prodding around in there, but any pointers would be nice

I'm going to do my best to get in every nook and cranny, I'm even taking a tape measure to see if I can measure the top of the door to the bottom for the quiz. :D

If anyone has any more specific requests, post them now. I'll do my best to get them, although because it's not actually for sale, I can't guarantee I can get in or anything open.

If you do get the chance to 'put your head in' and have a look, IIRC it's on the Right hand side in the engine compartment (if you are standing behind the car looking forwards) but can't remember exactly where.

EDIT - I believe its the opposite side to this plaque / sticker -

There have been shots of his (or his relatives) Ferrari 550 and an LM002 that have surfaced since the end of the war - both 'modified' by either the Allied Forces or Iraq's own people - and that is where this rumour started.

Possible? sure, why not, he had enough funds to purchase (more than) one that he skimmed off his country; likely? No

I've been told that #18 was sold for 3,92 million Singapore dollars, possibly bought by an English man.

I hope he will not refit it.

Peloton25

06-10-2008, 05:43 AM

Yes, they did have #064 at one point as well. The primary distinction between what are otherwise fairly identical cars is that #064 has a red "F1 V12" emblem on the center of the steering wheel. In this set of pics, that unique detail is missing.

They also have/had #053, formerly part of the ZAZ Museum collection, for some time as well.

Unfortunately their website has not been updated recently so it is hard to know which F1s they might still have.

It now has the plates "MCL F1" on it, which i believe was on the silver McLaren that Whittikers owned, so im not sure what plate is on his McLaren F1 at the moment (standard road car in Silver, hoping to see it again sometime to get the chassis number)

That is supposed to be the road car owned by Lawrence Stroll which has not been seen publicly for several years. Perhaps it's almost reached the 15-year mark where it can be road registered in Canada with no penalties. A car built in 1994 would be elligible next year.

A friend is trying once again to score the chassis number for us as it remains an 'unknown'. Keep those fingers crossed! :)

There's no doubt from my source that this is the F1 road car that Stroll owns. The problem is that everyone at the dealership is being tight lipped over the car's mere existence and the chassis number as well.

My probable guesses are #002, #005 or #008 as those were all Brunei road cars and Stroll did a deal with the Brunei Investment Agency to purchase Asprey many years back, around the time that the car was first spotted at Mont Tremblant. Possibly there were a handful of cars he arranged to purchase at the same time?

The other chassis number that seems a likely candidate would be what I believe was #012, the Tag Heuer F1 seen in Japan in the early years. The paint on this car looks slightly different than the dark silver that we see on #045, and past photos of #012, so perhaps its not the Japan car. This car has more of a silvery tone to the paint, though darker than the usual silvers found on F1s.

If the Stroll F1 ends up being any other chassis number than those four though, I'll be quite surprised.

Laws in Canada allow for the free importation of any car once it has reached the 15-year mark in age, so any of the 1994 F1s would be elligible in just a couple of months. Perhaps it's been pulled out and dusted off in order to start the formal importation and registration process. The rumor is that the car has been tucked away in an garage at Stroll's home for several years now.

They're trying to keep it on the DL according to a local source and no details are available. In fact, for many years the people at the dealership had denied that the car even existed in Stroll's collection.

Like nearly everything else that has been a past mystery related to the F1, the details on this car including its chassis number will come out eventually. Until then I'll stick with my current theories - #002, #005, #008 or #012.

Peloton25

06-10-2009, 09:46 PM

Hmmmm, indeed.

I found a pair of smaller photos of the car here, along with the story:

http://www.etravelblackboardasia.com/article.asp?id=62165&nav=1

I'm definitely intrigued. The lighting isn't the best in any of these shots and so it's hard to put my finger on the exact color. In the second photo on that page I shared it's almost a match for the Aubergine #016, however the interior would be way off. In the other shots Greg shared it doesn't even look close to the color of #016. There aren't a lot of cars left that we don't know about that are possible choices which leads me to believe we could be looking at one we do know, post-refit.

Just brainstorming here, but maybe this is the F1 we've long suspected as being #043, painted Black Metallic that was formerly in Japan. In previous photos of the car the lower section of the body was painted grey like the LeMans winner, but perhaps a new owner had that changed? This could be the silver car (#064 I think) that was at SPS in Hong Kong? They also had the white F1 out of the ZAZ collection, chassis #053. I'd be fairly upset if this turned out to be that car, but each owner is of course free to do what they wish with their F1. Macau is just a short boat ride from Hong Kong anyway.

I'll keep digging on this. I like it when we discover something new - great work Greg!

Just found the best news of all here (http://www.asiatraveltips.com/news09/295-CityofDreams.shtml):

"The cars will be displayed from 1 June on Level 1 of the mass gaming floor for 6 months." :naughty:

I also watched a video that mentions the new property is expected to draw 50-60 thousand visitors per day, so these are unlikely to be the last photos we get of the car.

I am not sure on where #029 landed yet. Given its funky original color it surely may have been a candidate for a respray for its new owner and is certainly a possiblity for this car. I've rounded up names of a few potential owners and asked someone on FChat who has been posting pics of exotics in Macau to pay the F1 and Enzo a visit, and try to get the chassis number. No reply as of yet on that request.

On a totally unrelated note, there is now another silver F1 in South Africa besides #037. More details on exactly which car should be made public soon, I believe. :smile:

I didn't ask for that, but given the placement of the chassis plate on an Enzo, if the door is open it would be quite a bit easier to get than an F1 if you can not get close to the car. When/if he replies I'll add that to the request.

The McLaren F1 on display in Macau is almost certainly #016. :sunglasse

Check out some new photos taken by a German while on holiday to Macau over on FerrariChat. They include some photos of the interior, which would have received a refit since the last time it was seen here in the USA, but there is at least one unique and telling clue that exactly matches #016, dating back to the time the car was in Germany prior to 2004. Also, after seeing the car in person I'm fairly convinced with his close ups that the paint color is a match.

His photos start here and then continue onto the next page:
