The F1 is I believe the Clinic Model - the other is one of two Ultima's 'Edward'

Known in a Chapter of DA as 'The heavenly Twins' Edward and Albert were test mules, nothing more. Their jobs were to test out the center-driving postion, split nose radiators, carbon brakes that Murray originally intended to use for the F1, Brembo iron brakes that the F1 would eventually derive from, the transeverse gearbox, test-run the BMW V12 and eventually the entire powertrain, the cooling system, carbon clutch, and the rear suspension.

On a side note. I work with a guy who swears blind his mate now owns "one of the Ultima test cars"

I cant be bothered to corect him. Or even just show him the pics of the crushed body's in Driving Ambition.

Ignorance sure is bliss for some...
