Re: 56XP GT pics!

You have already identified the car - the chassis number is "56XPGT".

Your photos aren't new unfortunately. In fact there haven't been any new shots of this car for quite some time making me wonder just where it may have ended up.

Here's my favorite photo of it - pulled as a screenshot from the DVD "Martin Brundle's Supercars".

Re: 56XP GT pics!

Is the GT still at MTC? whats the story with that car? is it McLaren owned and not/never for sale????

I've seen some recent pictures of the line-up, and the GT is not on display......

Is MTC open to the general public? if not, how do people get visits/trips there etc?

Albert 68, Thankyou for your appreciation on my Silverstone pics.

Payso, I think McLaren have sold this car.

Eric, did Gordon tell you Rowan Atkinson has now got a longtail, did he mention the word GTR?

Le Man,



I didnt know if this was true but the guy who sent me this picture told me Rowan Atkinson has another McLaren that is a Longtail GTR. I will ask and see if he can get pics of it.

Re: 56XP GT pics!

Albert68, all pics of 58F1GT that we know of, are all listed in the 'Japan Fleet' thread. Have a look here: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=437592

For 56XP, I believe there are a few more pics of rather high resolution, showing it at goodwood. These came about late last year, I believe. You will have to do some searching or maybe one of the others can see in their collection?
