Many thanks mclaren240!

You seem very.... what's the word? ....excited. :lol:

I'll try to help you with what I can at the moment.

Scans from the Autocar book I have, but I don't have them hosted. It could be a little while before I get time to upload them, but I'll put it on the to-do list unless someone else wants to be kind and beat me to it.

Pics of the silver car with the red stripe in Japan - I was just looking at the original website they came from less that two weeks ago and the pics were still active. I'll try to find the link again. It's really not that special, just another silver F1 that happens to have a red stripe on the ventline of the door.

Someone else will have to help you with Taylor & Crawley. For the record though, most places that advertise an F1 for sale do not have them just sitting around. Most cars are sold on consignment.

As for the purple car you mention, it's really more blue than purple. This should be the one you are referring to:

It's chassis #040, owned by someone named Gary who posts on PistonHeads.com under the username 'flemke'. Very entertaining to read his opinions on the car over there.

I look forward to your #007 pics from Goodwood. :thumbsup:

There was another webpage out there with photos of this car, but I haven't been able to find it yet.

Here's the thread I pulled the link from. There's some other cool stuff mixed in with some other dead links.

quick question... is there a story behind the red stripe? seeing as its on more than one, it makes me think there is

I can't think of one. :confused: I'd be interested to hear if there was a 'reason' though.

There are at least 4 cars that have it or have had it at some point. I'm kind of indifferent about it, but it wouldn't be something I'd add to my own F1.

O.K. Guys one good turn deserves another as promised 007 at goodwood cant remember the year this is the best pic I have others also there was the 95 lemans winner which I believe was in non running condition. Yes I have pics can scan if anyone’s interested but there as bad as this one I know this pic is not so good but I figured somebody might want it but this whole file size thing make the quality even worse! Thanks for the link to the other thread wow love both those cars quite like the red stripe don’t think id ad it to my car (one day…one day) but would not remove it either.

Edit any one know how a put a pic up?

To put up an image, you must first have it hosted somewhere on the web. If you have webspace or an online photo album, usually that suffices as long as it allows for remote hosting.

Once its uploaded, you need to get the address to the image. Open the page that it lives on and right-click on the image selecting "Properties" from the list. On the menu that pops up, look for the 'URL' and copy that line of test.

Then come here and to embed it in your post you need to put the image tags before and after it. You can type them out manually, or simple click this icon above the posting window. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/wysiwyg/vB_InsertImage.gif That brings up a small pop-up which you can paste the URL into.

Ultimately, you want something that looks like " http://www.myimagehost.com/album/picture01.jpg (http://www.myimagehost.com/album/picture01.jpg) ", but you need to leave out the spaces that I put at the start and end of the URL.

McLaren240! gave up the fight and sent me this picture to host for everyone. It's a shot of the familiar chassis #007 at Goodwood one year.

Excellent! Thanks for the pic! It's good to see that this car has had a very healthy dose of public attention.

If anybody wants i have some more pics of 007 (though rubbish) at goodwood and some of the 95 lemans winner at the same event i have also uncover two of the 96 gtr at goodwood on anouther ocasion if anybody wants i can e mail them. Just tell me what you want.

We will take them all if you don't mind sharing. If you send them to my email I will try to get them rehosted and put in this thread later today.

I'm also going to upload the pages of the Autocar McLaren book to an Imagestation album to share with everyone again. I don't recall who here originally scanned them but I know they aren't linked in the original thread any longer. Hopefully Imagestation will not delete the album, but if so there's probably one other place I can stick them.

We'll take any and all new pics :D. No picture of a McLaren F1 is rubbish, at least not in my book. So go right on ahead and send them to Peloton25 so he can host them :thumbsup:

By the way, that pic of 007 is nice. I like how you can see the brake disc shining through the front wheel.

Ok have sent a few new photos to Pheloton25 as he has so kindly offered to put them up please give him time to do so. In the meantime I was wondering what the loop between the exhausts pipes is for towing? Engine cut out? You may wish to note the completely straight through exhausts on 01r (yes the photo is to one side I know condition were crowed and that was the best I could do at the time I think there was somebody standing the other side so I elected to crop him out) and that the engine cover has that odd NACA duct that I have not noticed until now! Also anybody know what that small black stamp like thing with the white filler? on the front is are both these unique to this car? The 95 winner was the same year as 007 though I never saw them next to each other and the 96 prototype was a different year. Lets all thank Pheloton25 for putting them up. I’ve just e mailed him (he may be loged off) and am only posting this message as im logging off now. There are just over 3 megs of them took a while to send. :banghead:

Cheers Mclaren240!

PS anybody want to post anymore pic’s of these cars?
:smokin:

What treasures I found in my inbox this evening. WooHoo!!! I would have had these up sooner, but I went to see 'Oceans 12' tonight and just got in. Great movie btw. :cool:

Anyway - on to McLaren240!'s new content. Each of the photos he sent me was 300MB and really didn't need to be. I kept the images sizes all the same, but reduced the data size by about half without affecting the overall image quality. I also improved the colors a bit and brought out some detail

We'll start with the shots of GTR #01R from Goodwood - I think this was the '99 Festival of Speed event where they featured past LeMans winners.

I don't think any of these shots are rubbish at all. I'm sure I could dig some real winners out of my collection to prove that statement too. ;)

As for your questions:

Yes the loop between the exhaust pipes is the rear tow strap.

Most GTRs have that NACA duct molded into the lower section of the engine cover. It appears to have been a running change during '95 as some of those cars have it and some do not. I don't see it on any of the '95 Gulf cars #02R, #04R or #08R - the West #03R didn't have it in '95, but it appears it was added in '96 - #06R, the Harrods GTR, is the same story, it appears to have been added for '96 - #07R doesn't even have it today - #09R was the Ueno replica made for the Sultan so one would assume it has it. All the '96 GTRs have it as far as I can tell, as well as the LMs and longtail GTRs. On the LM, I believe the scoop feeds air to the rear brakes, but it might also serve to cool the transmission on the GTRs as that was one problem they had was keeping gearbox temps down during long races.

On your question about the front, I see that small black stamp you describe but don't know what it is. That section of the car is taped over in a lot of other pictures of #01R and don't recall seeing other GTRs with a patch in that location. There were several variations of '95 GTRs nosepiece as they worked to improve aerodynamics and cooling. I think the larger grills on #01R could have been another running change McLaren made - since #01R was their development car it probably went through many phases.

Thanks so much for sending these along to share with the group. I'll have your Autocar F1 book scans up sometime tomorrow and then we won't hear from you for a few days while you are busy downloading them all. :lol:

Do you know if the supplementary lights on 01R added because they were anticipating rain at LeMans? Or was it just an option that other cars just didn't end up getting?

The lights were added during the race because of the bad conditions.

McLaren240!, thanks so much for the pics. They look great

Wouldnt be right to take from the tree of knowledge without giving back whant i could in return if you get what im saying.... Thanks for the year have been going to goodwood for a long time now but was priced out last year corprate hospatility is begining to do a british gp on me im afrade. (ie the real fans are being priced out) Thanks for the info also that black thing facinate me seams unique to the car looks like some kind of sensor to me. Will be sure to do the mclaren museum when its open. Thanks for the kind coments and all the help ive been given.

edit: sory about the size im naff at optomising such things.

I still can't work out what sensor thing you are talking about. Are you talking about the little black square thing just to the left and up a bit from the towing hook in the front of 001R?

Its strange. It appears to have been fitted during lemans and was not on the car when it was a prototype. Its definatley still fitted to it today though.

Prototype:

Le Mans:

After:

Recent:

http://img28.exs.cx/img28/3760/2331ks.png

From Prototype form to the race, the entire nose piece changed.

I found two shots, the second of which is most definitely from LeMans Pre-Qualifying, that show there is a small hole in the nose piece where this patch now lives.

Also, here's a better shot of the car 'after' at Goodwood that clearly shows the patch is on there that day:

thanks for the new pic (1st one). I recognise the last one from somewhere.... :)

i think the last pic of the Gtr was the one i uploaded ages ago,i took it from the greatest cars book and scanned it in but shrunk it to host and to improve quality

Actually i was being sarcastic. It was me who scanned it and posted it along with the new GT pic and a new pic of Mr. Selldorf's silver car.

:p

Well for the record, I had two versions of it so it's possible you both scanned it at some point. I think it's a neat photo no matter who shared it. ;)

Here's the Imagestation album link to the AutoCar F1 Road Car book.

http://a6.cpimg.com/image/A2/81/43048866-597a-014B01C2-.jpg (http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=4287900903)

For some reason, I'm missing files that should be called 'mac03', 'mac78' & 'mac79'. I don't have a copy of the book handy to cross-reference but I think page 3 might be copyright info so it wouldn't be important, but I do recall there being a page at the end of the book that seems to be missing. :confused:

If anyone has scans of a page I don't please pass them along and I'll add them into the album in the proper slot. :thumbsup:

Hello,

thank you very much for all these shots ! I wish I could go to Le Mans in 1994 and 1995 :)

Ciao

O my god guys thanks for the pics can some one plese direct me as to where i can find pics of Mr Selldorf's silver car plese..... O does anybody know what the black need for speed car is while im here is it M1 mac anybody know anything about eithe of these two. On the sensor frount i vagley remember it being the type of slightly opage plastic you might find on the frount of a video camera dark purple/black in colour does this help.

i thoug i hade a lot of pics now i relise i have none any advice about where best to find them?

This is supposed to be a shot of Mr Selldorff's silver F1:

http://a0.cpimg.com/image/7C/0C/35117180-33ff-027401B6-.jpg

You might find others on this forum by searching for #068.

I have seen the black F1 with the 'MI MAC' plate - Jeremy Clarkson used it to race a Skyline GTR in a video found all over the web actually, but I don't know the chassis number. I'm not familiar with that car being associated with 'Need 4 Speed' assuming you are referring to the video game series. I believe that the car they used was XP5.

i thoug i hade a lot of pics now i relise i have none any advice about where best to find them?

I get all my new photos by hacking into mini magic's computer while he's not there.
He makes it really easy because his password is "mclaren". :lol2:

If anybodys intrested i found some more goodwood pics i took of 01r. Could that sensor have anything to do with the extra lights?

Steve (McLaren240!) sent me these additional pics last week which he found and I have finally taken the time to upload them to share for him. Sorry - been busy and kept forgetting about them... :disappoin :uhoh:

I went into uni yesterday and asked myself two question that i have asked myself before that i though i might throw open to you guys.

1. Dese anybody have a clue as to what is happening with the old F1 showroom seems to have been deserted for along time now considering where it is slr comming?.

2. has puzzled me for a long time how did they get 065 in and out of the showroom i just cant see how they did it without taking the window out 065 did come and go she unsurprisingly dissaperd around may day for instance did they really have to take the window out each and every time. Sugestion or a answer would be much appreciated.

Incidentily the dorchester seams to be the home of the slr there are plenty of them always there so i had a snoop around odviousley looks better on the street than it does in the showroom in the flesh its not to shabby as they say.

It doesn't seem to me that they will ever re-occupy the Park Lane showroom. I suspect they had either two 5-year, or one 10-year lease on the space and when that ran out - concurrent with the sell of of TAGAudio - they decided to close the doors and sell the display car. If they had planned to display an SLR in there, I suspect it would have gone right in once XP5 was removed as it lived there for a short time after #065 left and before they closed up shop.

As for how they got cars in and out - I haven't a clue. Chris has been there a few times, maybe he knows.

>8^)
ER

No idea. He's right. It would appear they would have to remove the window

I rember xp5s arival well gave me a bit of a shock as i went by on the bus.

I know they took 065 out for Mike Tyson to have a test drive when he came to the uk there was an article about it in the sun newspaper. Ment to ask thay lady how they did it but always forgot when i was in there. Though prehaps it went through the back wall but have had a good look spacificly that wall seams rath well.. solid cant see any gas that might emply it got out through there some how also the stares to go down to the basement? Are behind the car Prehaps they got the roller in and out of the short live park lane showroom the same way through the window belive i saw that hapen once that car would change every so often to. Sound like an expensive process to me anybod else want to take a crack at this one?

EDIT the article dint say very much Tyson visit was contraversial the pice was about his amazing spending and it mention the test drive and there was a photo of him in the car anybody got that pic id like it. Dont think hes an ower though i could very well be wronge alegidley hes in more debt than not and i rember his roler going through qv500 i rember thinking it might have been reposesed and WTF do you do if he comes to take it back? Anybody know if he was ever or is an owner?

As far as I am aware Tyson was interested in buying an F1 but McLaren didn't want to sell him one.

I don't remember any mention in the papers at the time that he took a test drive and he certainly wouldn't have been able to carry out this in 065, for the reasons mentioned above.

Hmm he definatley took a run it was definatily at the showroom and definatley a silver car in the rob report article on 065 it cleary said that it had only been used on test runs. Dont know if it was in all the papers but was definatily in the sun its what caused me to ask the how did they get it out in the in the frst place. Most of the article was about his spending hugh sums (which i recall he later dint cough up) for a watch and outher stuff in a jewlers. At the time i rmember talking to discussing with someone about why they let him do it as his financial state was well known. The best that could come up with was either that he had the earning potential or that it was done for publicity.

O and anouther thing reviewing some of my pis i noticed something odd on the drivers seat back some apear to be plain carbon ala 007 hmm lovley where as some the seat backs appear the same colour as the frounts as in 028? the red one and 048 anybody know anything about that?

As far as I am aware 065 was not road registered and therefore not road-legal.

With all due respect, the Sun has never been known to let facts get in the way of a good story.

Its very true about the sun but i vivdley rember the pic trade plates prehaps?

As for the seat bacs did they change the seats from carbon on the later cars (cost cutting?) those seat backs are diffrent i tell you.
