Restoring my own McLaren F1 photo albums via Flickr...

You know, the more I see the older pictures of 014 pre-refit, the more I wish it had stayed that way.

I mean, I really like the white HDF with black wheels look, but the yellow works for me.

So showing you almost 200 pictures at once was probably a bad idea?

There's still chassis #060 in Japan - probably still in original condition with delivery miles based on the fact that when we saw it in 2003 and in 2007 it was still wrapped in plastic. Or you could buy almost any other F1 and pay the factory to respray and retrim it to match this car.

Me too - the white with HDF and black wheels is very 'now', but will age pretty quick. Yellow, blue or Black on Black a la #069 for me (not fussy though, if you gave me the brown one with gold wheels I'd still accept it )

Ok now don't hate me for saying this, but I honestly would prefer at the very least a HDF-kitted Road Car over the standard one. IMO, it gives the F1 that not-so-little extra bit of styling purposefulness and athleticism that the standard F1 Road Car does not possess. I always like my supercars to have more than a bit of race-bred aggression to them. Plus there are the benefits of additional downforce and added stability at higher speeds, so for me at least, it's a win-win combination.

I'm never one to complain when you share 200 pictures of an F1 Erik

I'd guess if I trully wanted a yellow one (assuming of course I ever had the money - not likely), then 060 would be the way to go.

If I was gonna retrim any car, I'd actually want it the way it was when it left the factory (which could mean retrimming a very nice colour car back to silver, but it's just something I'd do), so I'd still be stuck between 014 and 060 for yellow ones wouldn't I?

Hopefully they've still got this on the rear of the car, and not taken it off like they did on #013's BBF

You could buy GTR #27R and restore its original livery.



GTR #25R finished its racing career in a couple of Yellow liveries, so you could try and track it down as well.

It would be pretty damn good to return 27R to it's original Parabolica livery, no-one would ever think to do it I bet.

They weren't a well known team and it wasn't a sponsor-led livery so not too many would remember it. Think it looks great though.

Okay - the last of my F1 photo sets has now been posted to Flickr. This time 92 photos of chassis #016 in the paddock at the Monterey Historics in 2006. Click the pic below to access the album.



Enjoy!

You spotted that back in 2006? Jesus. Time flies. I remember you posting them originally


Nice pics btw

[F1GTRUeno]

So what does 016's interior look like now?

Got brief mention here in the 'Rest of the World' fleet thread with a link to some photos on FerrariChat taken by Martin D:
