Seems good enough proof for me, unless others can state otherwise, these are now filed as #033

Re: What Mclarens do you have pictures of?

I can't say it's not #033 with any certainty, buy check this shot of #037's interior. It's the only decent one that I have but looks quite similar to what is in those screengrabs.

Re: What Mclarens do you have pictures of?

The car in Martins pics seems to have a solid coloured dash area. 037's is light grey with black:

Re: What Mclarens do you have pictures of?

Damn all these silver cars!!

Anyway - if my latest theory on the one that Bernd Pischetblahblahblah destroyed is accurate and it was chassis #033, then it too had a dash finished similar to the one in chassis #037.

Re: What Mclarens do you have pictures of?

These pics may be of help, just ran the dvd again and I cannot pic out any grey on the passenger seat squabs!!



One other thing, the silver does not seems to sparkle under the lights, base silver is a common pallet base on most paint mixing schemes. I am not trying to prove you wrong Erik, just trying to help out!!

So for now its #033

You are too, ya big meany.

Anyway, I wasn't trying to prove you wrong either, just suggesting a different possibility.

If we agree that these screengrabs by all likelyhoods are of chassis #033, then that could be #037 on the line behind it, with chassis #031 off in the corner of this shot:

Which chassis# was the other wrecked F1 in Germany on the same day as Bernd Pischetsrieder,s accident. As I have possible pics of that car complete (not a scratch on it!!) on vhs. The one with the all red interior, including a fully trimmed red gear lever.

Re: What Mclarens do you have pictures of?

Great question. I assume you are referring to the munched F1 seen in Driving Ambition that shows just how useful the exhaust silencer was in absorbing rear crash forces? If so, photos of that car would be unique for sure, but I don't think it is known what chassis number that is. One would assume that it too would have to be #006 or #010 or #033 using the same logic applied to the Pischetsrieder car.

Re: What Mclarens do you have pictures of?

Here you go Erik,

Vid clips from Carlton tv program (for discovery channel) "Speed Merchants". A really good 45 minute program showing a well documented behinds the scene,s insight to the Harrods GTR,s first race at the Jarama circuit 95 BPR race.
These clips are from the beginning with the late Creighton Brown, showing viewers some interesting features on the F1.




...............................Check the all red gear lever!!......................

If it is the car in DA that has severe accident damage. It is probably not in this paint/trim spec anymore!!

I shall let you guys work out its chassis#. (I have not got a clue )

Please enjoy.
