I thought that is the car it would be.

It's for sale too, so bring your checkbook.

I used to hate the orange one, but now I think it's surpassing the 97 Lark as my favorite GTR =)

Peloton -- you're pretty good at removing people from pictures, would you consider "cleaning up" those two shots of the orange one?

[Peloton25]

EGADS!! I'm good, but I'm not that good.

The potential is there with both of them if you want to lose the backgrounds completely, but it would still be a royal PITA.

Turns out there were actually 3 F1 GTRs on display at the Goodwood FOS this year. I keep telling myself I need to go to this thing darn it!!

The third GTR was Nick Mason's GTR #10R - on display in the booth for ClassicCars magazine.



Before I get started with the rest of the photos, I should mention these were forwarded to me by someone who has been lurking here for quite sometime. He goes by the username M-N-J, so please welcome him to the forum and be sure to offer up some thanks for these great contributions. I have already requested larger versions of the photos, so hopefully he can come through for us on that.









He also captured some photos of #27R but said it was difficult to get anything good with everyone trying to get a closer look at the car.









And finally, a slew of photos of #17R.



























That's all so far, but he did mention to me that he has a very special photo taken at Goodwood a few years back of an F1 road car that even I can't claim to have any photos of at this point. I believe he will share that one with us soon - I did ask nicely afterall.

Wow, very nice to see footage of the Mclarens present at Goodwood. And yes, like most of you, I am banging my head against the walls again, for not going this year.

M_N_L, thanks for hooking us up with your pictures, much appreciated!

I'm guessing it belongs to www.carsinternational.com and that the Venice is/was owned too by that company.

I saw some photos a few years ago when the Venice was still owned by the Sultan of Brunei - I think actually his brother Jefri was in one of the photos. It had the CIA registration then.

I'm actually surprised to see ANY plate on #27R, simply because I didn't believe there would ever be a road registered longtail GTR. I'd love to get the details on how that came to be, and if the car is truly streetable.

I did notice the similarity on the plate and found it interesting, but my information on the green Venice Estate is that it was never delivered to the Brunei Royal Family.

Yup, the green Venice was never in Brunei. First buyer was a doctor in England. I got this from a car mag a while back.

M-N-J, a huge welcome! And thank you for the pics. They're great!

[F1 monster]

Peloton, the street plates are not that hard to obtain in England. A couple of inspections, a smog-type test, and you're done. They're more concerned with headlights, windshield wipers, turn indicators, etc., so far as I know. This is how Ultimas and other kit-cars/home assembled vehicles are registered.
