I'm willing to believe just about anything. Al's logic of #21R being the Highcroft car makes sense. We'll have to keep that one alive until we can get a conclusive answer from one side or the other.

Photos are great - I love the detail!

Le Man, nice pics!

I should also add that Linda Mansfield e-mailed me back on June 2nd saying she forwarded my message to Highcroft. Still no response...

Can I join in too?
This is from the 2004 Goodwood festival, not the recent one. Seeing as BMW doesn't have pics of this year up, I suppose these will have to do for now.

Picture as it came, resized to 2mb with borders and press tag attached. Original 4mb file available, contact me for it.

Borders and press tag removed, 1.7mb file.

Again, new pics shall be posted as soon they're made available.

(P.S. Sorry if everyone already has these, I'm a semi-lurker, not really that well kept up with who has and posted what.)

EDIT: Oh and Le Man, great pics. You wouldn't happen to know if that EXP Speed 8 in the background is the (EXACT) original or a replica would you? So far I've "discovered" 3 number 7s, in 3 different countries on the SAME date, and would really like to figure which one/where the original is. Thanks.

Sauc3, Not sure on EXP speed 8 chassis#? However I took nineteen pics, some with front and rear body removed etc. PM me your email address and I shall send you them by return.

The one in LeMan's picture is the 2003 model. Are the ones you're referring to the 2001 and 2003 or just 2003? Even if you saw 3 2003s with the number 7, it's not too surprising. 5 of the 2003s were made. Here is some chassis history on the 11 pulled from Judge4re on F-chat:

002 (chassis 002/2) never raced. Tested in 2001 and rebuilt in 2002 to Evo specs. Converted to a two seat track car.

003 (chassis 002/3) raced Le Mans 2001 (Car #8, placed third). Sold to Japanese collector.

004 (chassis 002/4) raced Le Mans 2001 (Car #7, dnf). Rebuilt in 2002 to Evo specs. Converted to show car.

005 (chassis 002/5) never raced. Build to 2002 spec but writen off in testing.

006 (chassis 002/6) raced Le Mans 2002 (Car #8, placed fourth). Still 2002 specs.

007 (chassis 004/1) raced Sebring 2003 (car #7, placed fourth). Retired after Le Mans test.

008 (chassis 004/2) never raced. Written off after one day of testing.

009 (chassis 004/3) raced Sebring 2003 (car #8, placed third) and Le Mans (car #8 , placed second).

010 (chassis 004/4) never raced. Built as a show car after Le Mans.

011 (chassis 004/5) raced Le Mans (Car #7, won outright).

Le Man, if you don't mind, could you also e-mail me the pics of the Speed 8? I love that car, too. [email protected]

[Le Man]

Glad you guys like the pics,

Shame no one from mobile tradition was available to open the car up?

Thanks for the pics! I have yet to see a GTR in person. Hopefully one day I will, my favorite iteration of the F1.

Thanks for that info!

You wouldn't happen to know which exact car was at the '04 Goodwood FOS? The car I've seen (reportedly still in 'aus) had an '04 Goodwood sticker on it.
Check out http://dhoffmann.deviantart.com for some shots I took, and I'm sending a .zip of a fair few shots taken on the same day.

Sorry, I don't know which chassis number the one at Goodwood is. It's so hard to tell because they all look the same I couldn't even imagine the hard time we'd be having here if all the F1 GTRs looked identical!

I got the pictures in the e-mail. They are STUNNING!!! Wow, the Speed 8 looks so amazing in that setting. Is that a private residence or some place Bentley owns? Many thanks for the pictures, they look great. I don't know if Le Man sent you his pics yet, but they are very detailed and great pictures. Seeing the mechanicals underneath the skin is really something...I have a lot of respect for that car.
