Pictures 1996 #016R At Helsinki + some scale model pics

I prommised couple of weeks ago that I will show to you some pics about #016R at Helsinki. Finally I have got them back.
Here is 7 pictures of 1996 McLaren F1 GTR, chassis #016R. Pictures have been taken during Helsinki Motor Show at Helsinki Fair Center year 1996.
I think it was decemberg, if I remember it right.

Also there was JJ Lehto around, but sadly I have no pics of that, I think. But I remember saw him there at interwiew some reporters. He was talking about 1995 LeMans and explained about the GTR some facts. Wish to remember, but I don't. But the case was that, that he were telling about the car and the historic Victory at LeMans 1995, it must be.

Anyway, since 1996 there has not seen any 1995/1996, but 1997 Helsinki got the FIA GT Race, so we saw streets at Helsinki serval Lontail McLaren GTR's and I was there also. Never forget it. Never. Even that I was that time only 17 years an old, I never forget that day.

I asked some while ago, which GTR this was and the answers were 016R. Hopely you still agree after seen thes 7 shots behind this link.

Thaks for your time to read this "long" text but I thought that some background information would be nice at this case to set up.

And the scale Model link is here. During the Crhistmass I tried to take some shots of them, I think these are OK.

No welcome! It was a more than great to show these 7 shots to you all. There is never too much GTR pics available, specialitely the new ones.

Right now I just can wonder, fortunately I knew what I saw back then, restore the images and the negatives carefully. The historic value is really high because this car didn't were some kind of plastic model of GTR. This was A REAL CAR, REAL THING. REAL GTR. Just so.....GREAT.

So I'm gladd if you liked those!

And I'm very pleased to know the history of this great car, the chassis number and specialitely where this car is today and what shape. I'm very greatfull for these informations! You all have helped me to find these informations. Thanks really much!

And about the scale model shots, hope you liked those ones also.
