The McLaren F1 Picture Request Thread

[astonmartindbs001]

Hello again. Three months ago, I lost my entire collection of McLaren F1 pictures and digital media from my PC hard drive due to a massive viral attack. Miraculously, the only file that survived was my XP1LM one. Right now I'm in the process of trying to restore my collection in a new form, which as you can imagine is not an easy task at all. Therefore I would like to politely ask for help from the huge F1 community here in restoring my files for the following F1s which are my favourites:-

F1 LM XP1LM (even though the file survived intact, more pictures are always welcome).
F1 LM LM2 and LM3. Also LM1, LM4 and LM5 if they're at all possible.
F1s #073 and #018, the two EHDF-LM2 fitted Road Cars.
Other HDF-kitted F1 Road Cars, in particular #020, #069, #072, #014, and #011.
F1 GTRs #01R, #013R, #05R, #06R, and #010R.
Standard F1 Road Cars XP5, XP3, #009, other Dark Gunmetal Silver cars, and #040.

I know, I know, that's a BIG list, and I'm really not expecting the whole world to suddenly become my oyster. However, if you guys can share any pictures and other digital media that you have of the above-mentioned F1s, or links to the material, I would be extremely appreciative and thankful for your assistance.

Of course, no good deed goes unrewarded, so if anyone else would like to make their own picture requests for certain F1s, please feel welcome to do so here. Despite the currently still being restored state of my own collection, I will do everything I can to help others out too.

To start this thread off with a bang, here are what I consider to be the best pictures of the F1s I mentioned in the list above. Since these are just from my restored collection, most are not high-res or anything special, but I chose them either because they show the F1 being driven and used as it should be, present a new angle on the car, or show an aspect of life and history around it, or also simply because they're the best of what I have right now.

[Sami Aaltonen]

Where the ******* you have got so many unseen (I haven't seen!) images of LM, GTR and and and....
This is sensational!!!!!

A BIG THANKS FROM FINLAND THIS ONE!

[Peloton25]

He may have neglected to mention that after much pleading on his part I bundled up all my pics of XP1LM for him and hosted them via ZIP file.

So if anyone was thinking about assisting with that specific portion of his collection restoration, I've already taken care of it.

I'll have a dig around tonight and see what I can find for you

[Sami Aaltonen]

Two high resolution scan results, it worked quite well I think.
These are from those Vauhdin Maailma magazines, croped images.
Now there is large images allready, I dare to continue like that way.

#21R overtakes #25R at Helsinki.
I don't know which are the drivers here.


#21R leads the pack at Hockenheim

[astonmartindbs001]

Yes indeed, a very big thanks to Peloton25 for sending me his entire XP1LM file. More pictures of it and all other F1s are always welcome however, and I'll be happy with whatever you guys want to send me.

Thanks in advance for the help Greg, and also thank you Sami for the wonderful F1 GTR Longtail pics.

Fantastic pictures, Sami. Thanks a lot.

[Sami Aaltonen]

OK, good that I was allmoust right those chasis.

Aston:
Good that you found there something new.
It was quite much fun last night to search those images.

[Sami Aaltonen]

Searching my self made McLaren F1 Memorabilia binder and thought that could these images be someone here not so often seen?
These have been printed out from Internet around 1995-199?, and some of them have been cutted of some magazines. The quality is not so good but hope that's not a big problem.
Hope there was atleast one new image someone!

[astonmartindbs001]

Lol, all those pics are new to me, Sami. Thanks a lot again.

Now I don't know if this is new to any of you, but I just found this in, all of places, one of the Facebook McLaren F1 fan pages:-



It's F1 LM #LM3, blasting up the highway amongst a convoy of other Turner Motorsport cars and quickly filling the mirrors of this BMW E46. You can even see Frank's modified Mini Cooper S coming up near the back of the convoy. Not very big, but unique nonetheless, and new to me.
