Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

Thanks for the photos! LM2 looks fantastic. I've always loved the side profile shot of the F1 with the doors open like in your first pic. I'm glad the new owner puts his cars on display for the public to enjoy. Can't wait to see more pics.

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

Not really a part of the North American fleet per say, but the North American fleet now has a certified service center! Plus there are some AMAZING pictures!

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

Speaking about F1s in NA. I know 044 used to live on the east coast but after the auction did the car move to the west coast permanently? Wondering because i saw a post that had a west LA tag and looks like the Mclaren Service center there.

Is that photo from fchat taken in California this past weekend? It was parked next to an F60 America.

Also, both those BMW service (NJ/CA) centers no longer service F1s. They all go to McLaren of Philly and off site a few miles away. Only 1 tech there is qualified to work on them and is the only guy in the country.

No, it was from an instagram post taken on November 21 at the Mclaren Service Center in West LA.

I know that Mclaren Philly is the only place to get F1s service(i read the article) I was just interested in whether or not Southern California has a new F1 to its roaster.

p.s. sorry if i linked wrong, i don't post often

Gotcha, sorry about the confusion.

This is the photo I'm referring to. Does anyone know the chassis #? https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/145724705/

Login required to that photo unfortunately, but I figure almost everyone here is a member there.

I came here to post that having seen that article yesterday

Amazing pictures indeed. Well I've got some new wallpapers that make me drool everytime I see that BMW V12 removed from its chassis. Considering the facility itself seems to be off the radar for what would be a few reasons (security, client confidentiality etc) it was good of McLaren to allow photography inside there.

Looks like #045 as its too dark to be Mag silver and the only other color(that i can think of) is Dark Silver in the US.

If im not mistaken, 045 lives in New York?

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

044 is located in Beverly Hills now -- I believe, but have not yet confirmed, it has a new English owner.

The other car spotted in Beverly Hills wasn't 045, but actually the F1 road car that belongs to Lawrence Stroll of Montreal, Canada. That was his F60 America parked beside it and (I think) his 275 NART Spider was also present in the garage, along with a couple of other nice toys. They were not around for long at that location and have already departed to somewhere outside California as I understand. Sadly I was 1,800 miles from home when I got the news and missed any opportunity to see the car. <sigh>

That is nice to hear. Another F1 in SoCal gives me x2 the chance of seeing one here

Thanks. I didn't think to link the two being he's Canadian and the car is the F60 "America." I assumed all 10 went to US customers. Of course it's really NART/FNA, which includes Canada...whoops on my part.

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

Well apparently LM2 was at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago 2 months ago alongside P1 LM2. Anyone have links to good photos?

This is one from Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bieg4kvn...=cbc_detailing

There were a number of great photos shared at the time in the Chicago Petrolheads & Car Spotters page on Facebook.

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

So apparently 014 is for sale for $22 million, but it's not on RM Sotheby's private sales page.
