13r

In the Autocar magazine video on YouTube where they drive Nick Mason's GTR, the downshifts are absolutely amazing. It sounds like someone is swinging a baseball bat or golf club in the air really fast. What components in the GTR transmission produce this sound and do the F1 LMs produce this sound since both cars share similar gearbox components?

Thanks,

That'll be the straight cut racing gears :)

I guess this thread really needs an update.

13r has been away the last 6mths being rebuilt by Lanzante. Still a couple of months to go but is coming together now. Body back from paint shop with the tub now back to new condition. All components have been tested and either replaced or brought back to new. Very excited to see last week, will be at goodwood FOS if everything goes to plan.

Few photos to follow.

Hello andy,

very cool news. Are you interested to enter Le Mans Classic as part of a GT & supercars expo with a lap around the track ?

Phil

Thanks a lot to take some time for this update.

May I ask just one question, which chassis is in the back of this pic?

Hopefully 'we' can look forward for some etra updates later on the rebuild process :)

Excellent stuff Andy - I always love these kinds of under the skin photos. It look like they are doing an impeccably thorough job. :)

Did they crack the motor open or was that unnecessary during this procedure?

Appreciate you locating the VIN for me - was that in the right footwell like the road cars?

Right if in the car?

Engine didn't need splitting as all fine.

I really can't fault Lanzante. I knew them before even thought about buying a f1 and will use them with other cars going forward.

Right if in the car?

Yes - that's how I typically make reference.

I really can't fault Lanzante.

I wouldn't either - it seems they have had many satisfied McLaren customers over the years. How do they rate their support from the factory - is it a good relationship or do they struggle at times? Are there any things Lanzante can't or won't do with the cars?

Should be #043.

I'm assuming an SLR in the middle? Looks like it anyways.

Great pics Andy, thanks so much for sharing, looks like a fantastic job they're doing.

One question, probably been asked and answered before. Is the engine running unrestricted nowadays?

Fantastic to see a GTR all stripped down like that, I may just have to make a push to get to Goodwood this year.

I'm assuming an SLR in the middle? Looks like it anyways.

I think we're seeing something significantly more special than an SLR there. More like a Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe - likely 'CSX 2300' pictured below which Lanzante prepped for last year's Goodwood Revival and it took top honors in the RAC TT.

Note the bracket at the top of the a-pillar, the number light on the door skin and the much more prominent duckbill spoiler than you would find on an SLR.

Yeah you're probably right Erik...

:D

I'm just a good guesser. ;)

Also, after making that post I also came across another photo Andy had shared back in January on PH.com which makes it a bit more obvious:

Very nice content ans so rare to see that !

the F1 behind could be #069 no ?

Phil

Great shots! Really looking forward to see the car when it's ready!:smokin:

amazing! Still looks like a very modern car although its almost 20 years old.

I will be at the FoS (trying to get press access but otherwise as a normal visitor)

Hope to see you Andy.

Will you also be at Supercar Sunday next week? (in person or other car?)

Great update i have been longing to see some more F1 porn i love all exposed suspension etc that you never see are you pleased with the paintwork ?
Did Lanzante find any other nastys while stripping/refubishing ??

Russ

Good to see she is back home :)

Ah it looks even more amazing with the final touches added, little things like the yellow marks on either side of the visor at the top look fantastic.

Nice to see this back at home.
Now we hope some new images and videos of course. :naughty:

Sadly an Instagram photo so the quality isn't so hot and the resolution is minimal, but I still liked this photo:
