The main criteria is how well the repairs were caried out. after looking very closely at several repaired F1,s. McLaren do an excellent job, as you would expect from such a company. This info should not detract anything from the cars value, in the same way as its lack of race results should either.

I agree with regards to the repairs, you wouldn't know the difference from pre-crash to post-repair [I bet Rowan is delighted!] but provenance is all; #01R is worth alot more than other GTR's, despite only racing and winning the one race

I think the fact that this one did not ever race at Le Mans is probably why Duncan Hamilton chose instead to source and restore 22R for the ROFGO Collection. This car was certainly available at the time they did that and would have made for a quick solution to having a Gulf McLaren in the collection. I think in the long run these are the sorts of things that will matter from a value perspective.

There's certainly a halo effect this car benefits from because of the results of other GTRs, but in order of preference of the 3 current Gulf longtails I think #20R ranks highest because of its 1997 Le Mans result, then #22R would follow because of its immense racing history, and then 28R falls in after that.

A $5M dollar valuation is difficult to comprehend for this particular car, but what do I know.

You sell yourself short my friend.

[Peloton25]

I am told by a reliable source that GTR #28R is on display in the McLaren San Francisco showroom from now until the time of the auction in two months. If you happen to be in the area, do make a special trip.

Just like I said in the other post, "like a ninja!".

Seems like Motor Trend magazine might have gotten their hands on this one at Laguna Seca a few days ago.

Hopefully that means we have something more to look forward to than these Instagram photos.

Two hires shots forwarded from Alessandro @ McLaren San Francisco.



He told me it is difficult to get any work done with that thing sitting in his showroom.

Interesting the chassis plate is held on by stabndard allen head screws and not the usual domed ones?

[Peloton25]

I noticed that as well. If you look in the chassis plaque photo thread there are a couple of GTRs with non-standard screws holding on their chassis plates. #27R actually had Phillips head screws when it was still Orange - appears they were replaced with the correct items when it went through its recent restoration.
