#27R has been road legal for a while, since at least when it went to Parabolica livery - I'll try to scratch around for the approx date as I have it somewhere

OK. I remember rumors that it wasn't 2015 even it had plates. But who knows really these...

I love the LARK livery but I love the Parabolica one more on #27R. Saddened that it's been changed tbh.

Yes 27R was the earliest longtail to be registered, originally back in July 2012.

Re: Location of GTR's - Index

Dave Eden tweeted a photo of 01R, that I personally haven't seen before. It popped up while I was doing an image search of the Dunsfold Park display. Here is a link:

Dave Eden - "It is amazing what can actually be achieved in one day..."

Notice that 01R is not wearing its signature bonnet-mounted lamps.

(If there is a more appropriate thread for this post, feel free to move it!)

Re: Location of GTR's - Index

According to a pit crew member, it raced without lights to start with before having the bonnet replaced with the one with lights on in a pit stop before the natural light started to fade

Correct! I've seen photos pre/early-race where the extra lights are absent, but never post-race. The image being referenced to is of 01R posed with one of the Le Mans trophies. Case being, I find this particular photo kind of unique.

Some social media goon laid claim to it but nothing substantial has come of that - if it were me i'd splash that news EVERYWHERE so I guess he did it to boost his followers / likes rather than actually buying it

Thanks I would not be able to keep it under wraps either as I would no doubt be having a huge debate about the colour scheme.

My understanding is that 11R remains in the same hands who've held it since 2007.
