Is there anything information that where this 58F1GT is going, staying with McLaren's collection?
And seems it hasn't really driven at all...right?

I might prefer a small splash of color - maybe in the stitching - but yeah. Really excellent choices for the trimmings.

I could probably live without what looks like lilac passenger seat belts, but I'm with Erik, a little splash of colour, on the drivers seat or steering wheel [or stitching...] would be my preferred choice

My understanding was that they have been storing it for the original owner with some discussions about a potential sale. The market might not yet bear the desired price. That information is about a year old though.

I simply love everthing of that interior. Even the steering wheel is just what I would like even a normal sportscar to have. And the dashboard...oh my.

Just back home after my second mega McLaren day of the year.
1st stop was Ascot McLaren to see 04r. A car I never thought I would see. Superb. Staff were great,moving ropes away for photo's & opening up the door to get interior shots. Didn't want to leave, but had to get to Goodwood.
2nd event was another superb car I thought would never see,the GT !
3rd was the red F1 which was another new sighting. Hard to view,with so many people around it all the time!
4th was not realising as I looked at the P1 GTR, I was stood next to JJ Lhetto ! I had a photo,autograph & quick chat. He said about him not driving the 59 car at Le-mans 2015,because of insurance reasons. Not being employed by McLaren ,he could not drive it ! Also he talked about how different the new breed of supercars are to drive,compared to McLaren F1.
What a top guy,so friendly. A true legend for us McLaren fans.
Add to these,talking to Tiff Needell, and seeing Harrods& Fina car again,an you have a top day!
Goodwood delivers again! It is getting mega busy though!
Sorry will get some photos to Greg,to host for me! Not done any yet myself!

Uhh I missed that Senna P1 completely! Was it there today and if so where? Although I did only have eyes for the GT.

Was an awesome UK weekend for me again!

3 new F1's on my list: 028, 58F1GT and 04R at McLaren Ascot:-)

Also sawawesome cars in London: 918 Spyder in black and white, LaFerrari in black, blue F12, matt brown Aventador Roadster, chrome pink Mercedes G and much more

Two tone paint looks good on the GT still have doubts about how it would cope on real english type roads though, maybe MSO can enlighten?

[Sami Aaltonen]

Thank you for all about good images from FOS!
Fantastic to see that F1 GT.

LARK60; good you met JJ. I wish I could do that too but maybe someday in Finland, who knows. I just amazed how well McLaren did this; helmet display and all other things. Very good and I'm very proud to me Finn!
