But still now when I think that here is some one who could answer at this question, I try my luck.
Back over 10 years ago, 1996 we had here at Finland, Helsinki Motor Show. There was one car, what got all my respect. I was only 16 years an old, but I knew what I saw that day. Finnish driver JJ Lehto and his team mates had taken the historic win at LeMans just ear before......1995.
I still had the pics safe place at my home and I know, and I know how rare pics these are today.
But anyway, the show year was 1996 so I think that the viewed McLaren F1 GTR model year was 1996. It also could be 1995. It was of course a short tail version and it was FINA BMW colors. Th racenumber in the door was 38. And the drivers writen on the door:
Jacques Laffite, Steve Soper ja Marc Duez.
So the question is, that what was the chasis number and what was the car's model, 1995 or 1996? And were this car is today?!
I found in the Internet some shots, which would expect this car been 1996, but was it?!
I'm very greatfull about this information

Hi Sami,
Welcome to the forum,
If you have any rare photos you took of the F1 GTR,s please post.
The GTR you saw at the Helsinki motor show was probably #16R, which was one of three chassis campained by BMW Motorsport in 1996. This GTR is currently for sale at DK Engineering and for the last few years has been in the ownership of "Mr Bridger", who frequents this forum now and again
