Hmmm no #08R seen during that F1 weekend?

[Peloton25]

According to one helpful source, this is the McLaren F1 that belongs to Sheikh Salman, who was previously identified incorrectly as the owner of #08R. No help on the chassis number so far.

There's an F1 in there somewhere

[Peloton25]

This is perhaps a bit of news. A while back on FChat someone asked:

"Does anyone know of an F1 sold new to Portugal?"

My response was: "I've never heard of an F1 in Portugal, but since I don't know everything I can't rule it out."

There are three references to Portugal in this forum found by searching - one is off topic about World Cup Soccer, one is text related to the "McLaren the Cars" book that mentions Mika Hakkinen winning his first race there for McLaren in 1993, and the final one is found in a listing of EU country codes. Basically none of them have anything to do with an F1.

Then today on L4P there was another comment/question that offered a little more detail:

I'm from Portugal, and to my knowledge there's a F1 over here, although I've never seen it.

The only thing I know it's that it isn't silver! People who've seen it say it's a darkish gray... titanium gray maybe?

Do you now anything about this car? serial nr? spec? any special request or mod made to it?

Sadly, it seems we can't help the guy, but I thought it was worth mentioning here since within a few weeks there have been two comments in separate places that seem to imply there is a car hidden away somewhere in Portugal.

Does anyone reading along here have any pieces to add to this puzzle?

I've just updated this thread too, with new info and locations for cars already on the list and one new entry - I've re-upped some of the 'lost' photos too

[Peloton25]

Did you get a day off for Good Friday or something?

Now you are making me feel guilty about not updating the other recap threads yet. Guess I need to step it up.

A couple of things to note, the pics of chassis #018 are from its time in Singapore. Perhaps they should be updated to show it in NZ since we do have some great shots available now.

The pics of #037, while great, don't acutally show it in SA. They were taken at Schiphol airport in the Netherlands. I found some in this thread that were still active if you want to use them, or there are a couple of others that I could share which could be used as well if you don't have them already. (thinking you should)

#053 is not accounted for here yet, but you'll recall we saw pics of it on a shipping pallette inside a plane supposedly headed for somewhere in the Middle East.

Of the SPS cars, #064 is the only F1 left in Hong Kong to my knowledge. I am not positive where #063 has gone, but there was rumor it went back to Japan. It is for sure no longer with SPS.

#068 is now back in the USA in Massachusetts with Dan Watkins.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

...and you thought you were done.
