Thanks for the pictures man.

Looks exactly like #018 after it's refit.

In fact... I see louvers on the front fenders which are something I have only seen on #018 and #073 as far as short tailed F1s with the HDF Kit fitted.

Awesome! Great pics

That LM doesn't have the four holes in the quarter window. I wonder if it's LM3? The car does appear to have the LMs unique interior, so I wouldn't think it was a painted GTR.

Here a front view of the HDF car.

LM cars as far i know are the only ones which had the GTR 24 heures le Mans Winner 1995 on the end plate of rear wing.Second photo is end plate of the LM in the photo

The endplate confirms that it is an LM, I just don't think it is XP1 LM which normally isn't far away from that spot.

Awesome pics man, many thanks. How many McLarens have you seen???? lol

Does anyone know which chassis the number 25 Fina short tail is? I don't have any pics of a Fina livery car with that number. Thanks in advance.

Its is the sister car to number 24 which ran at Silverstone in 1996 for its first time. The team was run by Bigazzi its was a shakedown before going to Le Mans.

Drivers were no 24 Soper/Piquet No 25 Duez/Laffite

Thanks! That would make number 24 16R and number 25 17R. Thanks again!

It's #16R. The pair of FINA short tails only raced at Silverstone and at LeMans in 1996.

They might not have raced at Silverstone, but I read that Ron Dennis felt they should do a shakedown run with the cars prior to LeMans at the Silverstone round of the BPR GT series. That explains the limited number of photos of that pair wearing race numbers that don't jive with their LeMans race numbers.

I think you're right. The livery of number 24 is the same as 17R at LeMans in 1996 (US flag) and the livery of 25 looks like 16R at LeMans (France and UK flags),which is what 18R is now...

Why cant i ever see ANY of tak's images???

Either right-click and copy the link location and then paste in a new window. Or go to his album: http://community.webshots.com/album/105660921DhZeil

Because Webshots tries to block remote hosting, but there are several ways around it. I've explained them all in two threads. The one I have resorted to using most often is clicking the link and hitting 'F5' to refresh once the page loads.

Hey Peloton,

Notice any similarities between TAK's shots and the shots posted by tvrfreak in the shop? Could be the same timeframe?

TAK your shots are great and BTW welcome and thank you for the shots, very much appreciated.

The photos in the shop were taken in April 2001 when i went to collect the Book. I have more photos which i will put up. Where can i see photos from tvrfreak

The photos that tvrfreak took are dated 6/2002, so over 1 year later.

Here's a link:

That's the same area where LM and HDF cars in my photos were. We were aloud to wander around the workshop and taken as many photos as we want too. We were called over one at time to have our book hand over to us. We were in there for 2 hours.

Bonus points to someone who notices something interesting in this pic. Hint: Its been discussed in a thread recently.

Its easier to see in the hi-res pic:

I see a Citroen-style mirror folded in on a silver car.

I also see a poster-sized version of my avatar that I would love to have. :naughty:

There's also a poster to the right of it that appears to be of 01R, 10R, and an LM (maybe?) that might be new. I have never seen it before.

And the car being worked on doesn't look anywhere close to bein complete. But it has a white/silver trim on the door. Is that a car that you are familiar with?

I haven't seen it either, but the mystery car appears to be a Gulf longtail GTR with it's baby blue top color and orange wheels. That makes sense if you think this shot was probably taken the same day as the grouping of 6 on that same piece of asphalt. The two we can identify, plus the Gulf longtail, would be the other three cars missing from the F1/LM/GT shot. :cool:

Looks like an intensive service/refit going on there. No clue which car it could be.

It's the second half of the poster on the left. It's simliar to the other F1 poster (same parking lot they're on). XP1 LM is in the left pic (along with 056 XP GT and I think XP3) and 20R is in the right pic with 01R and 10R.
