007,

I know you are quite good at finding pictures. Have you ever seen a picture of a yellow McLaren F1 roadcar? To be clear, I am looking for a yellow car and not the orange McLaren F1 LM and not the 1995 LeMans McLaren GTR car that is yellow.

I am aware that only 2 original yellow cars were built. Some may have been repainted. I have looked at great lengths to find a picture or two without success.

If anyone has information, it would be greatly appreciated.

I remember seeing one on the top gear video where tiff goes through the factory and drives one. pretty sweet!

it stows looking , for the time being I only found this: http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/7512894.jpg
( I dont know car certain )Later i hunt more.

I'm pretty sure thats an F1 LM from the wheels and how low it is to the ground. and its more orange than the yellow one he's after.

007, Thanks for looking. I happen to have this image already. In fact, this car was entered in the 2000 Gumball Rally 3000 (it was either 1999 or 2000). The car is an LM. It is one of the few that are actually driven. I know who owns the car. I am not certain which of the 5 LM's it is, but it is an original LM. Good eye Snowboarder.

Keep looking guys. I will post anything, if I find a picture of a Yellow car. Thanks.

Snowboarder, you are correct about the yellow McLaren you did see. I also have that video and have watched it several times. I don't have the computer equipment to be able to transfer the video image to the computer just yet. If I have to, I will get the necessary equipment to be able to do that.

D'oh, well I was looking ta it at school, and couls barely tell that the Porsche was a Trubo, it really was dark, honest!

In those pictures with the 360 Coupe, the Porsche, and the McLaren, the McLaren is a very special car. It is XP4. The 4th prototype. The car was originally sold to a businessman in New Zealand, where I worked with him for over a year to buy the car for a client. As things would have it, we did not come to a final agreeable price. The car was shortly thereafter sold to a very prominant U.S. businessman in the San Francisco area where you see the pictures were taken.

How many Mclarens (F1's) do you know the history on?

Great picture. There are very few pictures published of any of the red McLarens. There were three original McLarens that were red and one that was burgundy. You recently posted images of it. The concept car that is pictured on the cover of the Driving Ambition book was later repainted Burgundy and is featured in several pictures with the fitted luggage and a gas station publicity stunt despite the fact that the car had no engine.

I do not know the current location of this car. I suspect Japan.

The pics of the car at Motorcars International was sold about 4-5 months ago. This is the very same car that was out at Newport Motorsports in Newport Beach, California for quite some time.

007, I have still been unsuccessful in finding a picture of a Yellow McLaren F1 roadcar. This picture of the LM is one I had not seen. Great detective work as usual.

At long last, jkbon has forwarded me a couple images of a yellow McLaren. In fact, his images show both yellow McLarens originally made. You will note minor differences between them. Here are the pics for everyone.

Here is the other image.

Many thanks to jkbon.
Anyone else have pictures of the odd colored McLarens?

first time i've seen a yellow F1! is that bottom one a prototype?

Hermunn, Good eye. The distinctions in the lower car are apparent and are very similar if not too close to the prototype. To be honest, I am not certain. To my knowledge, the prototype originally was silver then painted burgundy for some promotional photos and later repainted silver. I don't believe it was ever painted yellow. Although it is possible. I will make a couple calls to be sure. If it is not the prototype it is definitely early in production.

Of the actual production figures, the first yellow car is too late to have the features indicative of the prototype. I would actually bet that the lower car is the prototype repainted yellow.

I will make a call or two and find out for certain.

Here is an interesting link (I presume ... ;) ) with the chassis number and the corresponding color of all the Mclaren F1 and the history of the GTR.

here is the link :

sorry :rolleyes:

Here is a rare color,

http://www.supraforums.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=268005

This was taken at the Pavillions in Scottsdale and this McLaren belongs to a guy who owns this an F40 (red), F50(yellow), 550 Maranello (Black)
355 Spider (Red) 360 Modena (Red), and thats all that i know he has.
007, if you could find any more pics of this McLaren (its in Scottsdale), that would be great, and XO if you could find any info one who this was sold to and the other cars he owns, that would also be appreciated. Thanks.
Later

all i got is a big red X

Hi FERRARIBOY34,

This link is the answer to your question, maybe.

http://www.geocities.com/Baja/Dunes/4435/lastone.htm

Thanks for the help, was that car sold to a guy in scottsdale, or was that just the last McLaren Painted Orange because I know there is more then one orange road car, not LM or GTR. OO7, any pics would help and XOTech anything you can come up with helps too. Thanks again.

FerrariBoy, The car you saw in Scottsdale is actually owned by a gentleman I do business with here in the LA Area. He has quite a collection and his cars are often for sale in such publications as the DuPont Registry and various online sites. One of his more recent additions is the McLaren. I was able to see the car during its import conversion here in LA. I am unable to share his name.

The link that jkbon included is the original news release regarding the very last McLaren built. It was given to Aziz Ojjeh as a concession from the factory for his involvement. It will more than likely never be for sale.

The car spotted in Scottsdale was painted a similar color. It was originally silver. The owner wanted to paint the car the same color as the last McLaren (Yquem), but the factory would not release the official paint code information. So the owner proceeded to create his own rendition of the color. After several paint samples and considerable paint mixing and procedures, a color was selected that, in his description is far more vibrant than the Yquem color. I will fully agree that the car is astonishingly attractive. True indeed, that it is hard to make a McLaren look bad, but I can't say that the metallic green, or white are to my liking at all.

As far as other orange cars, there of course, were the 5 LMs, the last car #075 (Yquem), and now this car that was silver. Aside from those, there has been another car that was a GTR that was white that has been converted to European road use. It has been made to look like an LM and is the LM orange color. Those are the only orange cars I am aware of.
