I'd frame it, and use a double glass frame so that you can take it off the wall and show the back side if needed and without removing the frames first. Just my .

OK Thanks Doc!
I have asked couple of my friends also this same question and everytime the answer has been same. Save it, never cut it.
So that's what I do. Just have to find it some place and frame somewhere and find out the place after that.

Couple of days ago I visited at my father, we ended to search some old boxes and sort of things.
And some small box I found this 1997 Helsinki Thunder Pin. Some text and #19R on it's presentation livery.
I really don't remember where I have bought this, or who has gaved it to me if I haven't bought that. But anwway, this was very very nice suprice indeed.

Finally got it framed. The shoting was abit difficult because reflections, but againts the floor it was possible.

Looks good Sami

[Sami Aaltonen]

Yep, it was defenitely right choise to frame it. No question about it.

[Peloton25]

Very nice Sami

I think it needs a little extra something, perhaps it should be a scratch and sniff picture with stereo speakers each side

Talking of moving pictures Sami, I have finally put the 95 BPR highlights on DVD .

I made a swith in the support bracket at the back to switch between normal and high beam.
And also a dimmer in the ac/dc converter to vary the brightness for use in the living room.

Normal beam



High beam

Nice!

I haven't bought this, and at the asking price of $1,000 I am certainly not going to buy it, but thought it would be interesting to those who are here.

It would appear that chassis #014 has lost a piece of its original luggage set:





The images can be enlarged from the auction page, and there are a couple of additional ones included. See it here:

McLAREN F1 - LUGGAGE - SUITCASE - #14 - AUTHENTIC/RARE!

Going back in time to the photos that SVAG shared when the listed the car, that piece was definitely still in the set so it must have been misplaced when they transferred ownership of the car for some reason.



I sent a note to Mike in case he wants to try and reunite it with the car, but perhaps it has already been replaced with a new one.
