Mclaren F1 Gt Brochure On Ebay!!!!!

[Thorst13]

Wow I must say Peloton a moderator and everything.......moving up in the world!?

Congratulations bud.

[Peloton25]

Ok, so the plan is Mr Selldorff drops about $2Mil USD on the GT Prototype McLaren is supposedly hanging onto, so that this little group of F1 fans here can get some better photos of it to drool on. Sounds great to me - I'll go ahead and shoot him an email right now so he can get the ball rolling.

I think he might throw us back this smiley just on the suggestion:

Ohhhh..would'nt it be great to hear his comparison of the LM and GT???
Now that would be a story I would read 10 times for pure pleasure. MG's ultimate McLaren vs. the Legendary LM....cool!

Awww - thank you sir.

Its been discussed in here a few times before, and a long time ago I asked one of the Admins about the position, but my request never really went anywhere so I dropped it.

Apparently some other Moderators here on AF.com nominated me for the slot recently and it finally got hooked up last night after I accepted the call.

There isn't really a lot of moderation that needs to go on in here for the most part, so it will be pretty much business as usual I'd suspect. Occasionally we do get a troll or a spammer, so it will be nice not to have to drop it in another moderator's lap for resolution.

Thorst, I'm right there with you.

This reminds me of the 1st time I saw the Fina McLaren at Sebring in 97. I was in the back seat of the Blazer and saw that thing coming into view like an elusive great white shark showing its dorsal fin. After collecting my jaw from the floor, I scrambled for my camera.

Congratulations Peloton. Even though this particular forum doesn't need too much moderation, we occasionally do need moderated. I don't think you could have asked for a better, more knowledgeable person. Your slogan should be the old Dragnet line: "Just the facts ma'am. Just the facts." And I say that with sincerity.

Regards

Who is this Mr Selldorff ?

Is he collecting cars like me collecting brochures?

[Peloton25]

Mr Selldorff is an F1 owner here in the USA. He has 3 F1s currently including one of the 5 customer LMs. Read all about it here if you have some free time.

There are other references to him and his cars scattered throughout the forum.

Thanks Arch! Wait.... you're not just buttering me up so I don't hate you so badly when you outbid me on that F1 pedal set, are you?

Riiiiight. You know it would be funny if he actually got the GT, but that's thinking super optimistically (and that is an understatement). By the way, congrats on becoming moderator. You are the perfect candidate for the job.

Haven´t seen that peloton´s status just changed to moderator, but congratulations from me too, even after just one day it becomes obvious that he´s the right one.

And thanks for the F1-owner-thread-link, have read 2/3 of it so far -great !

I just come back to say Thank You for the information about the F1 GT brochure. Last weekend there was the Oldtimer-Grand-Prix at the Nürburgring and there was somebody with the GT brochure. He is very much in brochures and said he has never seen it before. Funny enough it was close to the softbound launch brochure for which he asked 400 Pounds / 600 Euros. Or was it 600 Pounds / 900 Euros? The GT was even cheaper than the lower price that so I had to buy it.

I don´t know how the McLaren lawyers would react if I would scan the entire brochure. But as there are most pages already shown in this thread i will make photographs of the missing pages tomorrow.

May be without this thread I wouldn´t have noticed this GT brochure.

Thanks again

PLEASE SCAN THE WHOLE THING. McLaren lawyers can't do much about that. We would be eternally grateful if you did scan it

[brochurebox]

I won´t be able to do real scans as I don´t have a scanner and I don´t want to bend the pages to much as this brochure is bounded. My pictures will look like the ones earlier in this thread. I will do my best.

By the way, how many GT street cars were made? I´m sure I´ve read that last December but I can´t remember.

Peloton, didn´t You mention somewhere in this forum that You got this brochure?

[Peloton25]

Yes, I got one earlier this year for ~$550 USD. The person I got it from had paid nearly $1500 USD when he purchased it.

I don't plan to keep it forever, but it was something that I wanted to see very badly. I do plan to scan my copy before passing it along. I will need a scanner first and will probably have one before this month is over.

Congrats on your find.
