You list this GTR as 08R Gulf 96 spare car, may I correct you, its 02R in 96 Gulf presentation livery. I think the pic is from the Autosport show, Tak43 will be able to confirm .

Yes it was taken at the Autosport Show but i did get chassis number so i am not sure of it.

A while back, Greg posted an article from Racetech magazine, with plenty of pics of 02R in the presentation livery (another one for the model collectors)

Today, it is still in the same blue (if my info is correct)and is the reason for the base colour being carried over when Jake Urlich ran the car in the 96 British GT,s.

08R was used by BMW Motorsport for the two different Fina liveries, your goodself posted up an article showing the USA spec scheme. Something I myself had not seen previously

Thanks for finally correcting that error of mine.

There has been a few of those images in my archives stating it as Gulf'96 spare car 08R and I can't follow where those have come from as during the years I've saved the images either with their original names or by giving a new name that describes it according to the context it has been shown. One of them showing it on a test or presentation drive (tagged as Brands Hatch) and another on a Gulf advert for their 1996 merchandise. After some consideration it makes more sense it couldn't have been 08R as e.g. during BPR'96 Silverstone race (mid-May), it was most likely still by the BMW for those livery and other tests as on the other hand the BRDC GT started only at the end of may 1996 at Silverstone for 02R.
