22R at Rétromobile-Paris 2011

The Retromobile website announced a Gulf cars display including a Mc Laren F1 GTR Longtail.

http://www.retromobile.fr/Evenements-sur-le-salon-de-la-voiture-ancienne/ROFGO-GULF-a-RETROMOBILE

Obviously, the race results are for 1997, not 1996 as written on the website. And the car is 22R.
Retromobile will be held in Paris (February 2-6). As usual, Retromobile appears very exciting with many rarely seen classic & race cars.

Cool - It'd be good to see some more pics of this GTR :)

This is fantastic news.

Was wondering how long it'd be before #22R was displayed at a show or something. Here's hoping for plenty of photos.

any one has pics of 22R??

I might go if I havent seen this chassis before!

Unless you saw it racing in the late 1990s then you have not seen this one before. It just finished a complete overhaul/restoration earlier this year after being stored for nearly a decade. Click through this link to the PistonHeads thread to see the latest pics.

Hello !

Thank you rjanot for this great news !

Fantastic, it's like 2007 if all cars arrive in the same time !
Mazda 787B is also there :)

Phil

If you're interested, we can travel together.
I wanna go, defininatly want to see 22R.
Not only because I do have an original headlight unit from this chasis, which was used in the FiaGt series and want to see the car (flat one, not the curved LM specs), but also the other cars and objects on display are interesting on a nice exhibition.

That is one of the best Longtails!

I think I'll go; lets hope there wont be much snow then on the roads...

Hello,

I will try my best to know when the car arrive. If someone connected with Lanzante or the owner could help us, thank you very much !

Philippe

http://carpics.free.fr for other pics of #22R.

Phil

Quite a show - wish I was there.

Thanks for the pics Phil!! :thumbsup:

Many thanks for someone on the stand to open the door ;)

Well it's not like he could say that the door was locked and he did not have the key. :grinno:

>8^)
ER

It looks absolutely stunning. Glad it's out and about as well, cars like this should never be hidden away as long as it has been.

Shame the Kremer(?) LMP at the front wasn't #02R in the same dark blue Gulf scheme, but that really is wishful thinking. Or even #15R seen as it's still in it's racing colours.

Hello,

I think my friends today will post stunning pics ! I will go back tomorrow because, only a quarter of cars are arrived :)

I was a little confuse yesterday because of something which could leave think about 15R presence.

Phil

Thank you for the pics and defenitely, everyone who managed to visit that show; please every picture is important this beatifull longtail!:smokin:

Dear all,

Is someone get pics of this 22R during qualifying session of Le Mans 1997?

I ask this cause i have a pic of the 3 Gulf Team Davidoff cars from Technical control of Le Mans 97, and the down part of the bonet (this part between the 2 radiator's big holes) is dark color.
But i have a personal pic of the front bonet (alone) where this part is Gulf Orange.

On this "re-made 2010 spray" we can see that it's Gulf orange.

So, is someone is able to confirm or to say, how the car was running before burning?

Also, we are not able to see what is writing between drivers name and window, but looks like was not like this in 1997.

bye

PS: will bring back other pics on wednesday eve.

arjan916 had this photo in the GTR livery thread some time ago:

Made some scans from pics I received the last weeks

http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/5202/40scan.th.jpg (http://img529.imageshack.us/my.php?image=40scan.jpg)


This pit lane photo also seems to show it in orange

http://thumbnails36.imagebam.com/11754/23e22d117532290.jpg (http://www.imagebam.com/image/23e22d117532290)

That part was dark during the LM'97 pre-qualifying but haven't seen a photo in which it wouldn't be the orange on the track during the race week(end).

This one maybe shows the driver names the best, so the respray has them in lower case, not in capital letters as the original had them.

http://thumbnails26.imagebam.com/11754/d6507e117532295.jpg (http://www.imagebam.com/image/d6507e117532295)

I'm not so sure when exactly these pictures are taken during the LM'97 week.

I took lots of pics today but unfortunately don't have the time to post them. I hope to do so tomorrow.

Thank you so much cabrio92 for putting up those pics. The car is utterly beautiful and its nice to see it out in the public eye again.

Hello,

#22R has moved on monday afternoon.

Here is a new shot by Gizmo7 :

Is it true that all the showed Gulf coloured cars are from the same owner?

I am adding a little video of 22R from today Enjoy guys!!!

Hello,

Erik > It's my pic ? If yes, I am happy because I tried to catch this light reflection ;)
I met who you know today but haven't much time to tell about your message.

Davidoff41 > We will see your vid ;)

Arjan > Excellent question ! Who can help us ?

Phil

And here some of my pics from today. Many many will come during next days...

ciao

Loving your shots Davidoff41 :)

All, or some, of the cars could be from the Duncan Hamilton collection

Is it true that all the showed Gulf coloured cars are from the same owner?

It's possible that they all could be. I am fairly certain that at least two of them are - one of the Gulf GT40s and GTR #22R.

Hello,

Erik > It's my pic ? If yes, I am happy because I tried to catch this light reflection ;)

Yes - your pic. You did a very nice job with it - thanks! :thumbsup:

I believe you are correct - pretty sure it is the whole display.

:smokin: Thank you all of great images!:smokin:

saw it today what a car!!

I really like the light blue color in it, would be great to have an F1 in only that color!

On the poster I saw also 20R and 25R were painted in the same scheme as 22R

Where are the other 2?

will post my pics asap

#20R is at the Technology Centre in Woking

#25R is in Japan

Looking forward to your pics as always Patrick! :)

...but 25R doesn't currently wear the Gulf livery.

It doesn't mention it on the poster, but 28R was GTC's spare car and originally wore the Gulf livery. It is in Japan and was the Gulf GTR that was for sale at BingoSports for a couple of years.

Also looking forward to your pics Patrick. Glad you got to check another F1 off your list.

ER

Yes this is my new favourite longtail GTR

Sadly they didnt let me onto the stand so I couldnt take good shots of the rear:(

Here's the start of my pics;)

It's not a problem for the rear, it was diffcult at any time :)

Phil

So, as i understand, i was lucky to be able to get in (very near car).
I have some new pics from today with closed doors. Will add them during the week-end, on the previous link.
bye

Patrick, they're genuinely stunning pictures.

Thank you so much!

It's possible that they all could be. I am fairly certain that at least two of them are - one of the Gulf GT40s and GTR #22R.

Wanted to clarify this - all the cars from ths display are owned by Roald Goethe.

He also has this bitchin Gulf-liveried Gallardo LP560 GT2 he races:

Same words here also!
Damn, that show was amazing, all those historic racers.....!

Hello,

I made some aditionnal pics, especially the side on monday morning :)
By chance, all Gulf cars were there !

A friend took shots on outside. Not sure, he will post.

Phil

Wanted to clarify this - all the cars from ths display are owned by Roald Goethe.

ER

Thanks for that.
I read it on the (Dutch)Autoblog site.
Roughly translated: he had a collection of 14 cars, 12 of these where on display in Paris, Gulf coloured.

The article and the list can be found here:
http://www.autoblog.nl/archive/2011/02/02/tentoonstelling-enorme-collectie-racers-in-gulf-livery#post-40885

Sure thing. :)

A visitor to the show provided me with his name, but it has also been reported here by Autosport so I am not really giving anything away:
