Re: Rare Edition - DRIVING AMBITION The Complete Inside Story of the McLaren F1
It's a little odd, because there was no 'F1 GT03' chassis.
Very nice book though, and certainly worth having one over the retail copies. Best of luck with finding it a new home. >8^) ER |

I'm extremely familiar with all variations of these books and also own a Limited copy myself.
The three F1 GTs produced wore these chassis numbers: Prototype: '56XPGT' and later 'XPGT' Brunei example: '54F1GT' Japan example: '58F1GT' >8^) ER |

Re: Rare Edition - DRIVING AMBITION The Complete Inside Story of the McLaren F1
hHi Erik,
Mmmm... never ever seen these badges, most of been issued after the making of The Books? Could "F1 GT 03" possibly of been originally one of the three cars? I would never question your knowledge on the facts and figures you have build up, (and share) over the countless years you have been the NO1 man on the subject of McLaren. Just recently sold books XPLM and LM5, may i ask what chassis no: book you own? All the best Keith. |

Re: Rare Edition - DRIVING AMBITION The Complete Inside Story of the McLaren F1
Just seen this on Ebay, (Not my book)
Note: Books 108 to 500 bound in NUBUK Leather. Books up to Chassis No: 107 bound in Connolly Leather and all wil be Owners Editions. __________________________________________________ ___________ No 395 of 500 // Doug Nye: 'Driving Ambition' the official inside story of the Mclaren F1'. Collection in person only. These books are extremely rare and do not come up for sale too often. It has over a hundred extra pages compared to the standard driving ambition book, mostly with extra exclusive images of the McLaren F1, two chapters of racing history, and several extras like page overlays and notes and the very same signed model badges and speed record badges that can be found inside the actual McLaren F1 car. What you are getting as part of your purchase is the full limited edition book, green carrying case with authentic McLaren badge, McLaren F1 poster, exclusive transmission diagram, and exclusive McLaren F1 technical cutout drawing. This book comes with all the original letters and emails regarding the purchase, invitation to McLaren to pick up the book, special edition number invite and everything that came with the initial article in St Georges magazine, all correspondence and the actual book that is still boxed in the original black box, enclosing the suede branded box, internal packaging and then the actual leather bound book. This book is stunning and a real collectors item only usually found at high end car auctions. I believe the last book sold was over 5 years ago There was supposed to be 1,000 of these books made, but no one has ever seen a book numbered over 500, so it is generally accepted that only half have ever been produced. This book also has the original signed page by Ron Dennis, Gordon Murray etc (see images) |

Hi Mad, Thank you for the enquiry, at this moment I have 2 ...GTR 13 also F1 GT 03 which are on reserve for a buyer, as from yesterday. Both on offer at £2000 each. If this still interests you I would be willing to offer you first refusal if the sale does not go through. I wait your reply, All the best Keith. |

Book never read - stored in it's packing case in dark since day one. Reply for further details. Copy number 247. Included will be some small fragments from chassis 061 accident.
