Re: GTR 21R to be auctioned by Gooding in Scottsdale - Jan 2014
A conversion to road use would be highly impractical and I would think a negative impact to the value of this GTR.
Here's another phone snap - one of many set to be taken from this angle and courtesy of my friend @otisblank on IG. ![]() >8^) ER |

Re: GTR 21R to be auctioned by Gooding in Scottsdale - Jan 2014
I think the straight-cuted sequential gearbox and many other technical things will mean that this is not be able to register to the road. #27R I think if I remember right; it was supposed to come road legal? But no change and I think today even more no change.
I hope #21R finds good loving owner who respects this car's history and keeps it in this FINA livery. Perhaps even more detailed just how the car was those days. If wants something very special, the Helsinki race rear wing setup and front aerodynamics could be the choise...? ![]() But main thing is, this finds a good home!

Re: GTR 21R to be auctioned by Gooding in Scottsdale - Jan 2014
27R has received its MOT but is still not converted for any practical use on the road and likely won't be.

Re: GTR 21R to be auctioned by Gooding in Scottsdale - Jan 2014
I agree this one. I don't really believe that any Longtail GTR would be possible to register to the road.

Re: GTR 21R to be auctioned by Gooding in Scottsdale - Jan 2014
In a conversation that I had a while back with Lanzante regarding the practicalities of owning a road going GTR he more or less confirmed my own thoughts that the short tail GTR's are just about usable but a road converted Longtail would need major engineering work mainly due to the very long front overhang requiring some sort of lifting front dampers even with the ride height increased to road going spec. It would be interesting to get Henry's input on how well the GT manages as a road car on real world roads.

Gordon Murray is in Scottsdale and will likely appear on stage at Gooding for the GTR auction to say a few words like he did with chassis 066 in Monterey.

Re: GTR 21R to be auctioned by Gooding in Scottsdale - Jan 2014
Have several friends who live in the area who will attend. Seems photo ops will be limited wih the car placed where it is at - doubt they will be opening it up for too many people during viewing.
Thankfully with its use these past several years it has been well documented inside and out already. >8^) ER |

![]() I have to ask, when it got that front bumper aerodynamic-setup? Those race images what I have collected from the Net, that kind of setup has not any race. Meaning that air intake before front fender, Laguna-Seca it had somekind of air intake there but not adjusters side it and there wasn't any air deflector eather. Can anyone tell where they add that air intake and why?

Re: GTR 21R to be auctioned by Gooding in Scottsdale - Jan 2014
Just noticed they left the transport lugs on it - I guess that makes sense as it won't be there long and won't be driven, but it would look a little better without them IMO.
