Patrick was the passenger seat really uncomfortable with the roll cage upright in the way? I'm told it would be terrible for a passenger to put the roll cage back in. Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

The seat was nice.
But I expect while driving your head might bang to the rollcage

You can see in the pictures how the rollcage intrudes into the space that would be occupied by the passenger. It would press against the shoulder and be very close to the head on three sides.

I suppose it depends on your definition of comfy -

She looks quite comfy -

yet he looks a bit cramped -

and I think his arms are too long for the car !! -

Does the car in the final picture have a rollcage?

Nope, it was just to show what a GTR looks like without the rollcage - still a tight fit for a man with long arms!!

I just noticed that the strake in the door is different in the Harrods car. In the other two cars, it extends into the flat region of the door in the front. In the Harrods car, it seems to stop at the flat region. Is it just a trick of the light, or is this difference really there? Is it something particular to the GTR cars of a certain year only ie. the first batch?

^^ it may have something to do with the changes between '95 and '96 chassis (just guessing though, not too hot on GTR's...) - look also at the vent just in front of the rear wheel - different size and different place along the bottom (#06R near the door, #11R near the rear wheel).....

to keep it ontopic

[hurstg01]

^^ it was going off tangent a bit, wasnt it

Great pics (again!!)
PS i see it has the obligatory GB sticker for driving on French roads - I wonder where they keep the warning triangle and replacement bulbs?

Answer to your question F1 Monster. The door ducts and luggage doors on #06R (and #03R) were made by David Price Racing as part of their own aero package.

Superb pics, Patrick ......... (Some more please )


Congrats Greg, to you and your wife. on your forthcoming baby. (or am I reading that as twins?)

Just had a closer look through the pictures and there is some storage space in the cabin under the passenger seat, enough for the aforementioned toilet bag, bottle of drink and something to eat, mind you only if you like warm food and drink lol.

Cheers Le man

Heidi thought it could be twins, but the scan last week confirmed just the one (to her great relief!!!)
