I have it on great authority that F1 #003 will be displayed at the event this weekend. No pictures have surfaced just yet, but I am sure there will be several and it will be great to see this car again after quite a while.
While I can't be there myself it is great that a large number of people will have the opportunity to see an F1, especially one that is not widely known. :cool:

Cool - if you know anyone that's going, can you ask them to get the new colour of the vent-line as a shot? :)

Word is that the 12C CanAm Edition will be there as well, and "possibly one other McLaren" but it isn't clear what kind that would be. My guess is either a 12C Spider or some classic racer.

I live in Jacksonville (about 30 min from Amelia Island) and I originally wasn't planning on going, but I am for sure now.
EDIT: Do you know if #003 and #17r will be present both Saturday and Sunday?
DOUBLE EDIT: Pelton, I just read your comment on the second video of 17r in regards to #003

I don't know the plans for the GTR - I assume it is there for display all weekend.
The road car will only be displayed Sunday along with a couple of other McLaren Automotive products. Enjoy your time with the cars. :thumbsup:

A friend called from Amelia - the interior of #003 now has blue inserts instead of burgundy. I bet that looks great. The stripe is now blue and silver to match. :cool:

A good view of the new interior from Supercars.net owner, Richard Owen. For me this is a huge improvement since I was not fond of the red/burgundy that it replaced. Alcantara on the steering wheel was retained though - another fairly unique element.

Also, HUUGE thanks to Pelton for the heads up on the F1s being at the show. I've been waiting 15 years for this day to come. :)

Hi,
very cool to see #003 especially because it was one of the less photographed road car i believe except mystery chassis.
Always the same owner ?
Thanks for info and pics.

There aren't a lot of great pictures for comparison, but the interior in #003 now appears similar to the new interior in #016. Is that a correct assumption? I quite like both of them from what I have seen.
