Video for those that do not know what I'm talking about.

I believe that's Rowan Atkinson's car. It always surprised me he was never on their Star In a Reasonably Priced Car segment.

It's chassis #061 owned since new by Rowan Atkinson in the UK. It was flown to Abu Dhabi for the TopGear test. They used his car in an earlier episode when they tested Nick Mason's Enzo as well.

I have a follow up question: Was the one he crashed #061, or another one? I always assumed it was #061 and repaired, but heard a rumor differently. Still love the picture:

Definitely the same car. The damage was not as extensive as it looks.

Some more of #023 at the Franschoek Motor Museum in SA.

...and speaking of South Africa, #037 made another appearance at the Kyalami race track this past weekend. Here's the only image of the car so far, followed by a short video with a couple of blasts past the camera.

At the end of the video when it drives past the camera it appears the car is wearing its old California license plate:



Thanks to Mike S at Teamspeed.com for sharing.

EDIT: Here's the Photobucket album with additional pics of the McLaren.

#037 video now added to the video thread, thanks for the find Erik & Mike S

This appears to be two shots of #016 taken in Hong Kong. I wanted to say it was possibly #029, but the set of photos also contain images of a silver Enzo which swayed my opinion. Also, these shots were taken in April and May and there's a photo of #029 still in Japan as of a few weeks ago. I'm waiting for a response from the photographer to find out more about the car hopefully.





Those are clickable for slightly larger versions.

They are fantastic shots.

I love the colour on #016.

Nice one
I love how everything is held together ;-)

I just can't bear the thought of seeing disappointment on the face of whichever of the three you'd have to leave behind.

One on the lap?

^^^ Not much room in the driver's seat, but perhaps two could share a passenger seat?

Here's one more photo of what I believe is #016 in Hong Kong:
