Recap of Japanese F1 fleet - Part 1

[McLaren F1 Guy]

sweet, another LM down. I had LM2 and LM5 listed as possibly being in northern England (it was either one or the other), so if LM2 is in japan, it looks as if LM5 might be in northern England. Sweet.

One in US 03.
One in Japan 02.
Three in Bruneii. 01, 04, 05.

Northern England? Don't think so.

One in England - XP1LM

My photo of #018 in Japan was taken in 1995. It would seem that car has changed hands a few times. I believe that the refit to Dk Gray/HDF Kit was covered briefly in RacingLine Magazine, but I do not know the issue.

One more night of debauchery here in Sin City and then I'll get the photo posted.

Here's what you have all been waiting for:



Taken February 5th, 1995 at the Nagoya Performance Car Show. It's somewhat hard to read, but behind the front wheel, and below the side marker light you can see a 'ZENT' sticker, which gives a direct tie in to the ZAZ Museum, not to mention the fact that both are in Nagoya.

This pic has been posted before, but this is the same car in Oslo, Norway taken in 1999. This would have been when Meissner owned it I believe.



Sometime between then and January 2002 it would get the refit to it's current look, but I am not certain exactly when that occurred.

So 018 was the Gray HDF apparently for sale at schaefer in Germany.
So that's four F1's Meissner has had.
Is there anyone out there we're aware of (excluding the SOB) who's had as many

Was 018 also owned by Tomas Bscher. There was an article in a UK magazine years ago when it was talking about his 200mph daily commutes and the car looked just like the blue 018.

I've always assumed that Bscher's F1 was #008 - Cobalt Blue. That's only my speculation though.

Here is that isssue of Rosso magazine if anyone wants it. If the price wasn't so high, I might think of buying it just for the pictures. It would be great if someone could translate the article for us, it could help reveal some info on the the cars.

I didn't even take notice. :P

If I remember right, it was mentioned before, that there was blue F1 in ZAZ museum in 1996. So it must be 018.

Yep, I mentioned that before. And with Peloton's foto of it, where it has a ZENT sticker, I think that settles it. Still waiting for photos of #018 inside of ZAZ museum though

Ron Denis had four for a long time. Not sure if he still does, since he was making efforts to sell them two years ago.
