Hi All

Can anyone shed any light on the following cars, gathering dust in my 'Unassigned' Folder?..
http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/1368/bluef1whiteinterior5dr.th.jpg (http://img246.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bluef1whiteinterior5dr.jpg) - i have this as a blue F1 with a white interior, but no chassis #

http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/6509/f1servicecentre37ax.th.jpg (http://img168.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f1servicecentre37ax.jpg) - one of 3 pics (as far as i know) i have of this car, is it #023, #051 or #073 (in its original colouring)

AND FINALLY (FOR NOW :wink: ) -
http://img283.imageshack.us/img283/9800/5b1ex.th.jpg (http://img283.imageshack.us/my.php?image=5b1ex.jpg) - #047, the one that appeared with the red Carrera GT in a German mag?

B = #068 possibly :dunno:

C = always thought that was XP5 - I'd be happy if someone knew I was wrong.

D = #047 definitely

#029 or #039?

Why do you think its one of these 2?

B = #068 possibly :dunno:
I'm 99% sure its not 068. I had it down as Beals car (042? My pics are all jumbled at the moment) but looking at the rest of the pics from that set i'm fairly sure i'm wrong. Its also probably not chambers' car (interiors don't match). Does anyone know what colour Musk's F1's interior is?

I'm also assuming its a US car, which i'm pretty sure it is

C = always thought that was XP5 - I'd be happy if someone knew I was wrong.
It could be XP5 or 051 so who knows

The interior in Musk's F1 is black. I really don't think those pics were taken in the USA.

That set of photos was taken by Ron Kimball and all of the settings with this silver F1 appear to be places other than the USA - in fact some of them look quite similar to the Duncan Hamilton driveway. I've always suspected that he borrowed #068 for photos when they had it for sale.

The picture makes the car look very unsilverish (hey a new word for the Dictionary!). Check these out, it makes the car brownish -

Really? I grouped them all together as they looked the same colour.....Do you reckon the colour is changed by a filter on the camera? looks brown to me....:screwy:

BTW Erik, do you have an #039 picture anywhere, the Creighton Brown colour (IIRC named after one of the guys on the F1 design team?)

Sorry - it's definitely #045, color is "Dark Silver". Sometimes looks more grey, sometimes more brownish depending on the lighting.

BTW Erik, do you have an #039 picture anywhere, the Creighton Brown colour (IIRC named after one of the guys on the F1 design team?)

Not that I am aware of - sorry.

In a related story, I actually heard that chassis #029 which is listed as being painted "Brazilian Brown Metallic" was built for Ron Dennis and that it looked so bad in that color that it was promptly repainted. I think one person on this forum said it looked similar to the UPS van when completed. :lol:

The thing that makes me think that its not 068 is that if he did borrow it from DH then it would have that ugly plastic license plate thing on it. Yes, i'm sure it could have been removed but its unlikely

Good point, but I can see someone like Kimball putting in the time to remove it.

Nope, I never heard that part of the story. Someone reading along here might be able to add a detail or two.

I may have started a thread on this before, a while ago, but I can't find it at the mo....

I have a folder that contains pictures of F1's that I haven't yet had the time to determine which F1 they are. I thought this might be an idea to generate a thread for F1 addicts to share their unassigned pictures to see if the knowledge on this site can help them out.

I'll start with some of mine, with the 5 earliest dated pics in my unassigned folder to see if you guys can help me out.

The last 4 pics of the road cars seem to be the same one, and from the original thread it seems its either #068 or #042

Sorry - can't really help with any of them, except my previous speculations on the silver F1 pics by Kimball.

I don't even break my GTR photos down by chassis numbers - it is just too difficult with the longtails in many cases. I sort them only by livery, except for the 'afterlife' photos where the chassis number is known.

Anyone familiar with this F1? The original filename alludes to the image being taken in Berlin?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20F/mclarenberlin.jpg

I know - another silver F1 road car. :banghead: :lol2:

EDIT: Figured out that pic is chassis #037 (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=5770931&postcount=27)!

#044 again? We know it likes being shown....

No, and for two reasons that might serve to excite our friend Phil/cabrio92 if he is still checking in here.

In picture #3 of that set, you can see "Automobiles Classiques" written on the outside of the tent (also on the sign placed next to the car). That is the title of a French car magazine:

http://www.info-presse.fr/fiches/automobiles-classiques_2570_gp.htm

Second is the details on the sign next to the car which can be seen best in picture #4. The top speed figure is quoted in Km/h, but more telling is the horsepower figure which is listed as 627 CH

ch
This is a French unit for automobile power. The symbol ch is short for chevaux ("horses"). Some sources give it as 0.7355 kW, but it is generally used interchangeably with the German 'PS'.

So I would call that two very strong indications that these photos were taken in France - well that, and all of the goofy looking people in the background... J/K! :p

Also, Cottingham's site claims to have last been updated in 1999, so it should be safe to assume these photos are older than that I would think. Doesn't really tell us much, but worth noting possibly.

= = = = = =

Moving on to your most recent set of 5 silver F1s (:banghead: / :lol2:) you have #044 again; #070 in Japan from the LMP Cars website; #065 in Singapore at Automobil Manufactur; interior of #044 at the 2005 Greenwich Concours; and finally the Clinic Model. :cool:

Don't you have any non-silver cars to ask us about? Like this trio below:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20G/mclarenf1-bmw3-41.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20G/mclarenf1-bmw3-31.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20G/mclarenf1-bmw3-11.jpg

I think there was a 4th image from that set - no better than the three you see here unfortunately. I don't seem to have it though. Look closely at the roof of the BMW racer and you'll see a logo for the 007 movie "GoldenEye" which was released in 1995. I'd guess these pics would have been taken a year or two after that car stopped racing perhaps.

I've had those pics sitting around since 2001, which was about the time I started paying close attention to the F1. They look a lot like #029, but maybe not...?

That first one is indeed #065.

The second one comes from this set of shots of #044 at the Greenwich Concours in 2005, taken as it was being loaded onto a truck to leave.

I think the pics of the F1 start on page 8.

No, and for two reasons that might serve to excite our friend Phil/cabrio92 if he is still checking in here.
In picture #3 of that set, you can see "Automobiles Classiques" written on the outside of the tent (also on the sign placed next to the car). That is the title of a French car magazine:
http://www.info-presse.fr/fiches/automobiles-classiques_2570_gp.htm
Second is the details on the sign next to the car which can be seen best in picture #4. The top speed figure is quoted in Km/h, but more telling is the horsepower figure which is listed as 627 CH
So I would call that two very strong indications that these photos were taken in France - well that, and all of the goofy looking people in the background... J/K! :p

Could be Laurence Strolls?....

So your theory then would be that those goofy looking people are actually Canadians? Okay, that makes sense... :lol2:

I really don't think the car in those shots matches the road car we have previously associated with Mr Stroll. The color on 'his' car appears to be a few shades darker in nearly every shot I have seen of it. The car in my quintet of images is more your basic Magnesium Silver.

What about this shot? Perhaps it is #011 in Carbon before the Electric Blue paint was applied? That's my only guess at this point.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20G/mclaren_f1_engine.jpg

Doesn't look like the right shade of grey for chassis #018. Doesn't jive with the brighter silver ones with the HDF Kit. Doesn't appear to match up with #020 or the Jet Black #072. The image appears to have come from a magazine scan - anyone familiar with it?

Edit: Now that I have stared at it a little bit longer, there is a small cube-shaped device mounted in the engine bay above the right rear window that is not a standard F1 item. At first it didn't seem I had any known shots of #011's engine compartment to compare it against, but then I spotted the ones tak43 shared of the car undergoing it's refit at the factory, and BINGO:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20G/2595623790048036277XDnUxM_fs.jpg

Possibly it is part of a navigation system or maybe the car-to-car communication system that the brothers had installed on their cars? Turns out that #073 has something quite similar in the same spot. Anyway, I shall move that image into its proper location now. Amazing what you can learn when you open your eyes, huh? That pic has been sitting unfiled about 5 years now - the ones of the refit were provided over two years ago.

Again I will ask if anyone is aware of the original source for it? I would bet it has some other good images too. :cool:

I think there was a 4th image from that set - no better than the three you see here unfortunately. I don't seem to have it though. Look closely at the roof of the BMW racer and you'll see a logo for the 007 movie "GoldenEye" which was released in 1995. I'd guess these pics would have been taken a year or two after that car stopped racing perhaps.

All I can say for sure is, that the #10 BMW 318i was used by Steve Soper in the JTCC 1995. The season was from March 12th - November 5th 1995 and he won the championchip in that respective year. Seeing all those trophies displayed between the two cars, it seems that it was a pretty recent display back then - maybe late '95 or early '96...

I don't think that it is #029, as the shade seems way to dark for me. I thought it could be #016, but it should have been already in Germany around that time...

As for the location I tend to Japan or Germany, as Soper drove for Team Schnitzer in the '95 JTCC season.

Silver car in the mirror is anyone's best guess. Perhaps #063 or #064. :dunno:

I have always believed that the second photo is an early shot of XP5, but can't confirm it. That's the folder it lives in on my hard drive.

The car sliding through the water is #003.

Door up in green is definitely an early shot of XP5.

Your guesses on the LMs are about as accurate as I would have.

Peloton25
12-18-2008, 08:48 PM
I personally thought it was too dark to be XP4's original grey, but it is in the shadows, so maybe.

I was wrong about the file's location though - it's in my McLaren > F1 Road Car > _XPs folder. I guess I never decided to go one level deeper and commit it to the "XP5" folder, but that is what I believe it to be.

Also, it appears to me that the indicator lights on the nose, while being the original crude style, seem to have a tinted lexan cover over them that fits flush to the bodywork. I don't have any other photos showing the nose like that on any of the XPs, but if someone else does that would probably solve it.

#1 = #062 after the Gooding sale.

#2 = #068 when delivered to Dan Watkins.

#3 = No ideas. Never seen that UK reg plate before. Initially I thought it might be a very early shot of #042 but I don't think that one was registered in the UK before coming here and the windscreen banner it was wearing in the earliest shots we have was different.

#4 = Pic was taken just outside the BMW Port of Entry where F1s are serviced in New Jersey and the license plate is a BMW Manufacturer plate so it could be several possibilities.

#5 = #013 when it came back to BingoSports - still no clue where the wacky panel came from.

Hopefully someone can help with the ones I missed. :)
