013R sold?

Gone from the Kidston website (not in the "sold" section though) and isn't listed in their/his ad in the April issue of evo magazine.

Anyone know where it went? Did i miss something? I read in one of his ads that he doesn't list some cars due to owner privacy but its wierd for the car to be publicized and then dissapear.

I too noticed it was missing from the Kidston site. Then heard that it has not been sold from someone who would know.

It's been off there adverts for a few months now. Hopefully it'll reappear sometime soon, still in the LARK livery, and bought by someone who shows it off! :)

Now on the 'Sold' list, appearing near the bottom of the page.

Now just hoping the car keeps the LARK livery. And gets a good loving home!

I hope it'll be at the Festival of Speed in Goodwood:)

AH Fantastic! Hopelly the LARK livery will stay!

BUT......WHY NOT TO FINLAND!!!!!:crying:
You have there at UK so many GTR's allready, we want one too! :uhoh: :naughty:

I am under the impression that it's home will be amongst other nice cars :) and Sami, Finland is too cold for these beauty's ;)

Prays to the car gods that the new owner keeps the LARK livery.

Prays to the car gods a little more that they convert it back to racing spec and take the car to the track regularly.

It will see regular use and will retain the LARK livery. It will remain a dual purpose car for now though, which really makes the most sense given the expense has already been made to convert it.

OK, so it will get good loving home! :smokin:
No no no no, not too cold.......:cool: But way too bumpy roads, way too much speed pumps and way too interesting car taxer.....:crying:

ERIK:
Thanks for the good news! Fantastic to hear this kind of news about it. Not Papaya Orange (even it's a Great color!), but this car really needs to keep the LARK livery. And if it will return racetracks, even not full racespecs, it's superp. Main thing is, it won't go any warehouse or something. And maybe...maybe! We could see it some video clips somepoint! :)

Erik, I have some things to ask you, just when I have some time to write that. PM should be OK?

Sami, correct me if I am wrong but there aren't any F1's in Finland at the moment, are there? Surely you would be happy with ANY one that came?

Still in the lark livery and staying that way.

Well it's not me who bought it lol andlooks like 05R will escape as well :frown::crying:

Still in the lark livery and staying that way.



Great news! :biggrin: What a wonderful car!

Sami, correct me if I am wrong but there aren't any F1's in Finland at the moment, are there? Surely you would be happy with ANY one that came?

Correct, no F1's as far I know. :frown:
YEP...but the price will be the reason of that, why it wont be happen.
If 599 Fiorano cost 500 000€, over half of that is car taxes, how much the McLaren F1 would cost..........

At Goodwood this morning

I took quite a few pics of 13R this morning, it looked awesome! I was a little surprised however that although there were a few people always stood around it, there was nowhere near as many as were stood around the 2x Veyrons. I can only assume that a lot of people either didn't know what it was, or didn't appreciate the significance of seeing a McF1 GTR in the flesh!
I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time when the owner left too, it sounds so awesome!

Here's a few pics:

Interesting chassis plate shot, shame its slightly out of focus. May I ask, do you have a better version.

Here is another 'nearly' shot -

Unfortunately not. I tried taking 4/5 shots of the chassis plate and it seems because of the angle I was at my camera just wouldn't focus on it, just all the buttons around it. The best I can do, and it's terrible, is this:

I'm sure given the number of people that I saw taking internal shots a decent effort is bound to pop up at some point though.

Thanks BlueEdge, as can be seen in the pic Greg posted, its a unique chassis plate for the 20th Anniversary, I guess each chassis that was at MTC has one each to commemorate this occasion.

I thought that may be the case when I saw it, the old chassis plate would be a nice bit of memorabilia wouldn't it!

A Fabulous car and it made my day to see it at Goodwood - if anybody knows the owner it may be worth letting him know that his reversing light was stuck on as he left Goodwood this morning - this can be seen from one of the photos!! Owner seemed a really nice chap and was more than happy to discuss the car with people!

I would assume the original chassis plates were either retained by Mclaren or presented in one form or another to the owners. More likely the former to avoid any fakes being created.

Fantastic images! Thank you very VERY MUCH!:runaround:

You have there at UK quite BIG HEAVEN......:iceslolan

I have allways thinked that McLaren F1 GTR is one of the most legendary race cars ever build, it's quite incredible if people did not regonzised it there..... Very strange.
Maybe someone of them releases it now and pangs their head on the wall not to take look of it closer.......

Still in the lark livery and staying that way.

Well done Andy nice to see another F1 owner on board what an earth do you have left to buy in your collection :smokin:

Amazing chassis plate !!!! And what a luck :)
But, is it possible to create false chassis plate ?

I hope it will be @ Goodwood again on july.

Phil

great!

I too hope it will be at the FoS (still haven't received my ticket!:()

Great to see the car out to be enjoyed by so many enthusiasts! :thumbsup:

I'm not fond of the idea of altering the chassis plates though. :uhoh: Seems they could have just as easily added something in addition in order to commemorate participation in the event as opposed to changing what was already there.

Reverse light is being sorted out!

Was fun to bring down to goodwood at weekend. I have always seen the f1 as the ultimate so getting 13r is proper dream come true. The car will be getting used alot now instead of being stuck away in a collection. Just the level of enthusiasm shown at the weekend and on forums like this shows why they should be out more. Thanks to couple of the guys on here who have provided great info on the car. Happy to discuss and answer questions but not on here all the time so may be a delay for replies.

Cheers

Andy

Genuine thanks for bringing the car out to Goodwood Andy, it was truly awesome to hear and see, and it's brilliant to hear that you'll be using it a lot.

Congratulations Andy

I would assume the original chassis plates were either retained by Mclaren or presented in one form or another to the owners. More likely the former to avoid any fakes being created.

Normally the original chassis plate, bearing a patina of years of cumulative scratches and oxidisation, is the sine qua non of authenticity. You could put the original in a box and replace it with a new piece, but doing that almost defeats the point of having the plate.
IMO it is inconceivable that McLaren would change a car's chassis plate without the owner's prior permission. One can imagine that an owner might request that the factory replace the original, but it does seem unusual.

I have always seen the f1 as the ultimate so getting 13r is proper dream come true. The car will be getting used alot now instead of being stuck away in a collection.

Congratulations once again! It's great you were able to achieve the dream of ownership. Your attitude towards having #13R certainly puts a smile on this enthusiast's face. :)

Enjoy the car at every moment and thanks for popping in here to say hello to this collective of F1 fanatics. :thumbsup:

Hi Andy,

Not sure if you received my email, but welcome to the forum and congratulations once again on acquiring 13R. Its really great to hear that it will be used on a regular basis and that you are not the type of person that will shut it away in some unseen collection, for that I salute you sir :bigthumb:.

Hopefully in the near future, I may have the pleasure of seeing your GTR, as its only one of two, that I have not yet seen :).

Hello,

I totally agree, on the smile and a dream which come true !

Congratulations Andy to realise a dream and enjoy the car in real !
Do you come @ FOS ?

Phil

I'm not Andy's secretary or anything, but since I already asked him if he'd be attending the FOS this year I can inform you he's got plans to go racing that weekend which create a conflict. He said he expects to have other opportunities to bring 13R out to the FOS in the future.

>8^)
ER

Thank you Erik, bad news for us but good news for him.

Phil

Good to hear it is not going to be hidden away in a colection, Andy is my kind of owner, besides as I have already voiced here, cars are always in much better mechanical condition if used on a regular basis, long periodsof inactivity can cause havoc with joints and bearings.

hmm shame it won't be at the FoS

Where will he race?

Andy: Congratulations also from here Finland!
Fantastic to see that you have got your dream! It's pretty privileged to own GTR McLaren these days, so really Congrats! :runaround:

And just like others have been saying here; thanks to keeping it in it's LARK livery. We have seen enough repainted an orange GTR's so this is superb news to me.

And I also respect this very much to write this forum, many doesn't say anything if they own one.

And ....I think we all hope to see here some pics of #13R again, never see too much new images of GTR's.

Welcome to the Forum and hope you enjoy to be here!
This is McLaren F1 paradise. :runaround:

This is an exelent stuff. :)

Just noticed something completely insignificant and out of the blue, but interesting nonetheless.

The placement of the McLaren badge has changed on the front.

I kept looking at the Lark logo on the front and noticed the badge is right in the middle of it, and then you can see a dark mark just above the logo where it used to be.

Was only when I looked at the photos of the car when it was in Oz that I noticed it as well, weird...

Thanks BlueEdge, as can be seen in the pic Greg posted, its a unique chassis plate for the 20th Anniversary, I guess each chassis that was at MTC has one each to commemorate this occasion.

Well done Andy for keeping my dream car in the UK.You are a fortunate man.
I didn,t know about the Goodwood breakfast gathering until after the event.Unfortunatly it is a 4 hour drive for me ,so the FOS is usually my only trip down that far.
It was a fantastic gathering of supercars.
As it does,nt sound like you will be at the FOS i wondered if you would let the forum know of any other possible events you might be attending, silverstone classic,wilton house supercar gathering?
It would be fantastic to see your car oneday!

LARK60 sounds like you're from the midlands or south yorkshire?

Wow, congratulations Andy on such a wonderful acquisition. #013R is one of my personal favourite F1 GTRs, and must be quite a thrill to drive.

Just one question for now. Has #013R has it's engine derestricted, and if so, does it produce anywhere near or even beyond the power of an F1 LM, as was alluded to in posts about #016R and several other road-converted GTRs?

Thanks a lot.
