What car is this? (Japan?)

[prescription7]

Found this on a Japanese site, have never seen it before. Also, if you click the Mclaren F1 link above the other links, it has a small, low quality pic of the red F1 that is presumably in Japan.

I don't know what the chassis number is, but if I had to guess, given the location and the color, I would say that is the former "Tag Heuer" F1 that was seen in the Best Motoring review on the McLaren F1.

I saw a Japanese car magazine for sale on Ebay once with this car on the cover wearing those "HEAD" graphics. As I recall, the price got very high on it and I chose not to bid seeing as how I wouldn't be able to read any of the articles. If it comes up for sale again I'll probably go for it because I just found out a co-worker can read and speak Japanese fluently after living there for over a year.

i think this colour is called dark silver, otherwise it has to be a magnesium silver one. i watch that partiuclar piece of film over and over agian, but i couldn't seem to see the chassis#.... to my regrets....

Yeah - I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of the actual tape. I think at the ~4:00 mark there is a shot that pans over the chassis plaque and there's a small chance it would be visible then. That's a mystery I'd like to put to rest someday.
