Are you asking me questions now, about my question

You are close my friend, but there is more to the answer.

Further clue :- DA

[mini magic]

Paint shop or body panel place, right? Its just down the road from Woking. I've been there

[carbuilder2002]

My guess is it's where they did the carbon fibre moulding.

That was done at Shalford which looked more like this:



I believe Gordon Murray Design is now located at this site.

Sorry guys, but no to all the above,

So far only Greg is on the right track, but there is more to this answer .

My last clue about DA should have been enough, look for two seperate pages, that have pictures of the inside of the building

Last clue, I myself have been inside this building years ago .

Continuous Engineering Workshop, unit 12, Woking Business Park. Google mapping the area shows buildings ike what you have shown

Evolving the road car to become a GTR and the GT in the prototyping workshop

At last we have the correct answer well done Greg.

Unit 12 is now being used by a stage/set company. So no more McLaren connection with that important piece of history.

I have not seen any evidence where the batches of 96 and 97 GTR,s were built, not unless somebody is holding out on us. Although I have pics of 10R in prototype build, I will check if that car was built in the same building. McLaren and BMW were joined in a touring car program at that time, so they could have been built elsewhere.

That's what I was gonna say after a consultation of my DA copy.
Too slow again....

Pop Quiz - What's wrong with this Facebook page?

Facebook - 1997 McLaren F1 GTR LongTail (street-legal version)

I was going to comment, but you actually have to "Like" the page to do so and I just couldn't bring myself to do that.

It's easy Erik #27R is not street legal

[hurstg01]

Wrong - what's wrong is that 3 people like that page!

Also provide conformation of this measurement, by posting the article. you found it printed in

Interesting that nobody has answered this question, so I shall keep it running for this week as well.

Perhaps it might be easier for some, to measure an actual car .

I can't believe this is still unanswered with this much McLaren F1 knowledge in one place. I am not sure of the answer, but if i remember correctly I have seen the answer in a magazine review of the car referring to the amount of space required in a parking garage to get in, park, and get out of the car (from a practicality standpoint obviously). Does that sound familiar to anyone?

[Peloton25]

I really hadn't given it much thought these past SEVEN YEARS.

Find that article - you'll be the hero.

seven years! Dang time flies

I am trying to...right now i am going through and reading all the magazine articles i have in hard copy cover to cover...so far no luck..

But i am pretty sure i saw the height given at one point in the form of a required garage height...
