Gooding & Co to auction a McLaren F1 at their 2013 Monterey auction...

Here we go again...


File Photo - chassis 062 at Gooding in 2010

I was keeping this secret for a little while, but apparently it isn't a well kept one anymore as Napolis (aka: Jim Glickenhaus) has just alerted the world via a post on FChat today:

Another will be auctioned at Gooding at Pebble.

Some are guessing 10mm USD.

I'll leave it up to the crowd here to make guesses as to which car it will be that will cross the block at Gooding. The hint - it is somewhere between 001 and 075. The chassis number might surprise you?

I'm expecting a formal announcement from Gooding perhaps sometime this week that will include their photoset and hopefully a full description, but figured we could get the thread started a bit early anyway just in case people are wavering on plans for Monterey attendance.

014?

Nope, not 014.

Second hint - it's silver.

I give pretty crappy hints, don't I?

Until you give additional hints, my final two guesses are 065 or 066.

There are some great stories of the original owner of this car and his usage of it, look forward to being able to share them one day!

Not a GT, but a silver road car

Getting closer, but RL doesn't need the money [some may say he doesn't need 3 F1's, but hey ho, why not? ]

You prove to be a good guesser after all.

We look forward to that day as well. Take good notes for your memoirs.

I like him already with the 'Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Team' badge on the back of the car which was thankfully left in place by the current owner.

Ah, lovely. I'll be there! Hopefully I'll have something to report.

Thanks for the heads up, as always, Erik!

Nice bit of McLaren F1 'banking'.
