oh, ok. Thanks for that. I was under the impression from the roundel article you got it at an auction. I haven't read it in a while so i may have forgotten some details.

Cheers

Think it's time this list was updated. It would be a shame to let such a good list get out of date.

BTW: I know i've tried to convince you guys that the silver car in peloton's avatar was XP3, but has anybody found any conclusive prove? (i've been away for a while).

BTW: Maarten - this is an excellent list so far once you clean it up. Nearly half the road cars are accounted for.

Yeah - that's old information that hasn't been updated. Someone who normally has very good info mentioned Benny was the owner, but I later found that was not the case.

The actual owner's name is Gary Schaevitz. He did recently purchase #045 as well - which I learned was the former Seth Neiman F1. Previously, I think we had his car listed as #012.

#045 came to this country as one of the 7 Ameritech F1s, and was originally owned by Gerd Petrik. It was then acquired by Armen of Newport Autosports and sat on his showroom floor generating interest in his new store. From there it went to Motorcars Intl and eventually landed in Seth's lap. Now the car is with Gary - making him yet another multiple-F1 owner.

It's funny you'd bring this up too, as I just had this same discussion with someone else via email within the past few days.

BTW: Welcome aboard.

There are actually about 2-3 photos of Lauren's silver high-mirrored F1 that have floated through here. None of them are very good at all as they were taken at night without a long exposure and a weak flash.

Heres' one of those shots that I enhanced for clarity with Photoshop. You can just barely see that the mirror is located on the A-pillar.


Clickable for hi-res...

His other F1 is reportedly silver also, but it's not known which chassis is which. If you can find out more, that would be great.

Right - I knew the chassis numbers themselves, but I don't think anyone knows whether #074 or #055 is the one with the high mirrors.

Could you maybe link those photos, or send them to me if you have them? I would greatly appreciate it.
