Definitely #003 - the JPN plate that car wears reads 76 - 89, just like the one in the video. You can see the plate in the second photo here.




Incidentally, that link didn't work for me and I suspect it may give others problems, so here's a direct link to the video:

Tada. Nothing high-res or anything, but a nice shot at least. And a detail shot of the dash, showing some 1000+ KM's driven.

For me it is, yes.
But on first sight, I'm guessing this is a Chinese site. And the plate is from that Singaporean dealer, is it not?

In good time, I will update this list with all recent changes, also to include the "asian" F1's that don't have a thread for their own yet.

My roommate is in Tokyo right now, so I sent him over there to check it out and hopefully bring back more photos.

GUESS WHAT!!!

Yo Erik-
Two Mclarens at the place in Tokyo

Numbers 13 and 63

Both are the standard silver/grey color



wait for it...



13 had a red accent on the side and a gordon murray signature on the left rear part of the wing

I haven't had a chance to ask him what wheels were on it yet. I assume he would have mentioned the alternate wheels as well if it had them. Living with me means that he certainly knows what wheels an F1 should have, plus there was another one in the room.

Hopefully he snagged a bunch of photos (I asked him to take pics), which would be nice because I only have this one hires shot of what we now know to be chassis #013.



BTW: I don't know if this means that it's for sale. I checked their website yesterday and it wasn't listed. #063 is still there though:

AWESOME. Good work Erik's roomate

[hurstg01]

another mystery solved!....

[Peloton25]

Well the bad news is that "the grumpy bastard at the shop wouldn't let me take any pics". I figured that was a possibility since there weren't any photos in the email he sent. That's a shame, but I'd be more disappointed if they were cars we hadn't seen before.

Apparently #013 is wearing the standard F1 wheels again and does appear to be there for sale and not for some other reason. I guess I will be watching their website in the coming days/weeks to see if it appears there. We can hope...

He said that if someone wanted to go by there, they could get a few shots through the front windows. He apologizes for not doing so himself, but when he left the guy was still there watching him and making him uncomfortable.

With so many F1s over there, we really need to make some friends in Japan one of these days.
