ALSO anybody know what # this one is
http://www.fast-autos.net/mclaren/f18.jpg

if i remember correctly it's '19R in the first 3 pics and the clinic car in the last one.....

#19R participated in the japanese gt championship some years ago but wore a different livery........after it's racing career in japan ended it got his original LARK livery back , it also was mclaren's developement '97 longtail GTR.....

please correct me , when i'm wrong.....

^_^

The first one is GTR #19R - the very first of the longtail McLaren race cars. It raced in that livery in one or two races that I can recall off the top of my head. Then later, it raced in the JGTC series from 1999 -2002 wearing multiple liveries (Nicos, SOK). I'm pulling these dates from memory, so they might not be 100% accurate. Anyway, when it was done racing in the JGTC it was offered for sale by Symbolic Motorcars and prior to coming to the US was sent back to McLaren Cars in England for a complete refit back to the LARK livery you see there. That wasn't it's original look though, as it was originally finished in all black with the yellow and pink flourescent squiggles as seen here:

Clickable....

The second car is the Clinic Model - the non-running prototype mock-up whatever you wanna call it. It was originally silver and is seen most commonly in that color. It has also been seen painted yellow and I have seen one or two things that mentioned it may have been painted blue for a short period of time as well.

but your answer has more value........ :p

If you call being long-winded more valuable, then great. :lol2:

I'll confirm the info I posted later when I can access some reference material. I can post a few shots of #19Rs other liveries as well. :)

Here's the "SOK" livery:

The "Nicos" livery was actually quite similar. I'll post more photos later.
