Hi there,

Please excuse me if these pictures have been posted before.
Apparently these pics were taken at the Concorso Italiano in California last year.

Besides XP5 - that car is probably the most photographed of all McLaren F1's out there. The car belongs to Dan Kennedy, but he has been trying to sell it.

Thanks for the links to the pics btw. :cool:

Great photos!!!

Based on the location of other photos in his album, I would have to guess this is the "Bruce Canepa" car. I know he's supposedly not the owner, but until we have the correct name, lets just leave it at that.

ER

I found out the owner's name for this car and gerd was right all along about it not being Bruce Canepa. The owner's name is Seth Neiman. He's a managing partner in a Silicon Valley based Venture Capital firm called Crosspointe. They are located in Woodside, CA.

Those pictures weren't taken in an Oracle parking lot, but at another company called 'iPass' just down the street from Oracle's offices on Bridge Parkway. Crosspointe funds iPass and apparently Seth was visiting that day and happened to bring the McLaren.

Anyone care to add to the story? I couldn't find much more info beyond that.

Car is currently being looked at by McLaren because it keeps breaking brake calipers.

For those who haven't seen these :

IMO, the steering wheel has a strange position according to the wheels' postion, :confused: ?

It's a removable steering wheel. Probably removed then put back on, but not positioned correctly.

Sorry to quote myself here, but I do believe that I have finally been able to confirm the chassis number for Seth's car.

I'm 99.5% positive that this car is #012 - a 1994 F1 road car listed as "Dark Silver"

Here's a pretty photo...

http://a9.cpimg.com/image/67/2C/24650599-ebc7-028001E0-.jpg

I have an email out to the guy who claimed on his website to have seen two McLaren's - #065 (which we all know was the Park Lane car), and #012 which I now believe to be this car. I'll let you know when I receive a reply back if I am correct. He's a pretty knowledgable guy too, or at least he's done some research, as he also had the correct chassis numbers listed for Leno's, Wyclef's and Kennedy's F1s on his website. I think he will be a good source for info assuming he writes me back.

I will of course let you all know what I find out. There is someone who posts here that could confirm it as well, but I understand and respect his reluctance to spread info about a good friend. :cool:

ER

That website sounds very similar to one I made a while ago...

Anyway, if Neiman's is #12, then the one that used to be at Shelton can't be 'Dark Silver', because the one at shelton was supposedly made in 1994, and the only other Dark Silver one is #45, which was made in '95.

Yeah #45 is at motorcars international. Me and my dad might go check it out.

The car at Shelton is not Dark Silver. It may look dark silver, but it has alreday been confirmed that is F1 #024 - which was originally painted Carbon. Now carbon, as our good friend mini magic pointed out, is a very dark almost black color, so obviously the #024 car has been repainted at some point - probably at the same time that the F1 GT-style interior was fitted.

Re-read this thread - it has all the info you are looking for:

Are there any pictures of the new interior

there are NO cars at motorcars intl! how many times do i have to post this, i called them up, all 3 are gone.

Your wrong, we have been in contact with the dealership daily. Last time we talked was maybe 3/4 days ago

What happened was they sold #45 and now the owner wants to sell the car

Are there any pictures of the new interior

There is really only one decent photo of the interior, and unfortunately I don't have it hosted at the moment, and I can't locate the original link. It is the reverse angle on this photo (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=1123630&postcount=1). I can post it later unless someone beats me to it.

The interior isn't really that much different. When I refer to it as an F1 GT-style interior, I only mean that the leather on the seats are pleated - supposedly offering greater comfort. Here are some examples:

The interior of the #024 car is called Cinnamon btw and looks dark red in the photos I have seen.

ER

Oh when you said gt style i was thinking something like the lm (a lot of carbon fiber) Either way i think that interior is really nice

When I refer to the "F1 GT" I am talking about the 3 long tailed road cars which were built to homologate the long tailed GTRs built in 1997.

Here's the cars page on McLaren Cars' website if you aren't familiar with the car - click the "GT" link on the right side.

http://www.mclarencars.co.uk/content/sections/mainfr/cars.htm

Here's two photos of actual interiors of F1 GTs:

http://www.tu5j4.com/%20MCLARENF1/F1GT_06.JPG

I believe - but am not 100% certain that the F1 GTs were the first F1s to feature that style interior.

>8^)
ER

you may think that im crazy for sayin a mclaren is ugly. But i really think that all gts are gross. i cant stand the body style

I wouldn't call you crazy at all. I'm not too fond of the styling on the F1 GTs either. Their only appealing attribute to me is that they are the most exclusive variant of McLaren F1. Besides that fact, I would much rather have a standard road car.

Incidentally - since you say that you might get to see the #045 car, can you try to find out the name and/or location of the current owner? It's one of the few cars that isn't accounted for. I wasn't even positive that it was still in the US. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Also - take a digital camera this time too. ;) :D

ER

All i know (or i think i know) is that the owner lives in CA

Your wrong, we have been in contact with the dealership daily. Last time we talked was maybe 3/4 days ago
Damn, the lady lied then :( . Is it actually at the dealer or are they doing what fox valley did, just advertising the car?

Not completly sure, the owner didnt really want to give out to much info about the car. They only told us that it was a 95 year and it was above chassi# 40. So from that info i could determine that it was #45 b/c of the dark silver color.

Well that would be a strange twist if the car does belong to someone in California as Newport Autosport claimed when they had the #045 car that it could not be registered here in California. Maybe the car has received modifications since then which have allowed it to be legal.

And also that is the only 95 car above #40 (almost possitive)

I said i wasnt sure, it was just a guess. so theres a good chance thatits not in cali

#046 was the last 1995 car - it's listed as being Genesis Blue Metallic.

The #040 car is listed as Magnesium Silver - another possibility - but we don't have any info on that car being here in the US.

It probably is #045 again - that makes sense since they sold it once already.

Yeah it #45 b/c the person said that the car was above #40

I have some pics here I've never seen before of XP3! (i'm putting them here because they might have been posted before)

Front 3/4 with doors up (http://www.genesisautosales.com/DreamCars/McLaren/1993%20McLaren%20XP3%20Prototype%20Coupe%20f3q.jpg )

Side while driving (http://www.genesisautosales.com/DreamCars/McLaren/1993%20McLaren%20XP3%20Prototype%20Coupe%20Sv.jpg)

Rear 3/4 (http://www.genesisautosales.com/DreamCars/McLaren/1993%20McLaren%20XP3%20Prototype%20Coupe%20r3q.jpg ) This one shocked me cause the lights are like XP4 in it's early stage and the vents below the lights are like on the Clinic Car!

Some more pics I had never seen before:#14 (the yellow car), Front 3/4 (http://www.genesisautosales.com/DreamCars/McLaren/1994%20McLaren%20F1.jpg)

Overhead shot of the Clinic Car (engine looks a bit weird) (http://www.genesisautosales.com/DreamCars/McLaren/199x%20McLaren%20F-1%20Coupe%20Top-v.jpg)

XP1 (http://www.genesisautosales.com/DreamCars/McLaren/mclaren19.jpg) We've all seen this pic before, but what caught my attention was the R&T logo in the corner. I do not recall them doing anything with XP1

And one more you might not have seen but I always get a good laugh out of: #002...but look where it is (http://www.genesisautosales.com/DreamCars/McLaren/mclaren15.jpg) (I guess thats where you have to go when you just bought a million dollar car...wonder why Ron was there)

mmm, new pix, good job.

mmm, new pix

for you :tongue: ! because they are quite old

Yeah, well I found some new pics on that website as well...

...but they weren't on the McLaren page. ;)

I do appreciate the effort though. :thumbsup:

Oh, and one point to clarify - the shot of 'K4 MCL' in front of McDonalds comes from an article in either "CAR Magazine" or "Performance Car" magazine - I can't remember which. Additionally, you have incorrectly identified the car as #002, when in fact it is really chassis #003. It was the second car built though if that makes you feel any better.

ER

McLaren F1 Guy, the picture of the XP1 with the Road & Track Logo was featured in a 1997 calendar that the magazine did. I think that it came in the same edition that was the now famous article of car#42 owned by Carl Beal. I have them both, but I just don`t know where.
