Cars that were in the Park lane showroom

I thought it about time we get all the cars known to have been in Park lane's Showroom over the years (sort of like this thread but with pics) -
#065


what is believed to be #021

XP5



Now, does anyone have any shots of other F1's actually in the Park Lane showroom?

Re: Cars that were in the Park lane showroom

Wow, 65 plus views and no more input? Did I really cover all the cars ever shown in the Park Lane showroom?

Re: Cars that were in the Park lane showroom

You've neglected #042, which according to the original owner's son was parked in the showroom when his father purchased the car in 1997. I'd assume it was in there from time of build in 1995 until the purchase in late 1997, but I would be hard pressed to produce a photo I could confirm as #042 instead of chassis #065. Short of viewing each image for a date stamp applied by some cameras, I think it would be impossible to verify any shots of #042 in the showroom.

I've never seen evidence #001 in the showroom that I can recall.

Re: Cars that were in the Park lane showroom

I may be wrong, but here is an article from Autocar magazine, July 94.

.....and a resized pic (both clickable)

I remember viewing this car late one night, soon after the showroom opened. (NO CAMERA!!)

Haha! Look in the back of that photo - "Mansour Carpets". What a lovely place Park Lane was back in the day. Last I checked that's a Porsche dealer now.
