Watch what happens. You might be surprised. Some cars may go for much more than you'd guess and then a few months later the reverse could be true. or vice/versa. Since there's several "on the market" right now, this will be an interesting test. |

Have you ever considered buying a GTR and racing it? not necessarily competively, but for use exclusively on the track. And if you had to sell either 007 or 068 to pay for it which one would you put on the market (i.e. out of the two standard road cars which one do you like best?)
BTW: thanks for the oppurtunity to ask these questions!! |

mini, do you think the signature on 007 makes it any more valueable?

Hello Mr Seldorf, Before I start, I would just like to complement you on your generosity in displaying and letting people go for rides in your f1s.
Since this is the only time I probably will ever talk to an owner, may I ask these questions: 2) Have you bin to any McLaren functions or meetings hosted by McLaren Cars? 3) I heard from other owner comments, you should only consider buying a McLaren if you are commited and really willing to 'fit the bill', he discribes Insurance and Check Ups as rediculously extortionate. Was this the case for you? On the Jerermy Clarkson video, he discribes a check up or the like as 25000 dollars. 4) Have any of your friends or associated own(ed) an F1. Were they as passionate about the F1 as you are, or as rumours has it, it is just an expression of their wealth (eg Sultan of Brunai). 5) If you could own any chassis, what would it be? Would you ever consider an F1GT. If you would not like to answer any of these questions, feel free. Any replys would be greatly appreciated regards -Mike Last edited by McLaren Mike; 04-16-2004 at 07:28 AM. |

Thank you for giving me a chance to ask you these questions.
Well Mr. Selldorff, my question is since your cars were brought to america as Show vehicles...allowing you to put 2500mi every year. Do those miles only count for the open road (highways, city streets) or do they also count the time on track (if any is spent on track, I don't know). My other question is how do they keep track of the miles you've driven...is there some sort of a yearly checkup?? If you don't want to answer these questions feel free, but if you do then that would be great. |

Just a quick question for Mr. Selldorff:
What's your SECOND favourite road car to drive? Thanks for sharing your experience with us. |

Pretty much amazing

Mr. Selldorff,
I hate to add to the piling list of questions, but an opportunity like this dosen't often come along. Do other motorists make daily driving difficult? I mean, if I saw a Mclaren on the road, I'm sure their would be a large part of me that would want to follow it, and seeing as the car isn't exactly inconspicuous I think other motorists may feel the same way. I suppose what I'm really asking is, do people get so drawn to the car on the road that it causes traffic problems/accidents?

1) No, sorry. 2) I've been to the factory where I was given a complete tour of both facilities, but no I have not been to any McLaren F1 races. 3) Noone should buy an F1 who can't afford a proportionate amount allocated to maintenance and repairs. $1Million+ cars don't get tue-ups for $19.95 at Jiffy-Lube. 4) None of my close friends own an F1. I am familiar with other owners, and they run the gammit from enthusiastic driver (like me) to image-only buyers. 5) I'd like to get a race car sometime. |
