Your memorabilia is too impressive

I can't imagine time, research and money to have all this stuff.

Thanks Phil. The answers to your questions are too much, far too much and way too much

McLaren also did a reprint of the Autocar road test issue in a white folder with pin badge. I gave both copies away as a little present to a very good friend

Bought a few more press packs recently...although the AM Racing one is still hiding itself from the Google algorithms





Some other bits of memorabilia I thought were cool so I bought them recently were -

A sticker off the roof of a GULF Mclaren GTR from Le Mans 1996



and I've looked at these for ages, and finally plumped for 2 of differing face-values



oh and I also relented [aka caved in]and bought some of these for Thomas

[cabrio92]

the box are stunning, how much and where is it findable ?

[Peloton25]

These are quite old Phil - I think most of them were originally candy tins. They pop up on Ebay from time to time. Sometimes a bunch all at once, other times you can go a while without seeing any.

Have added a rather special Mclaren F1 Press Pack. It's on page 146 of Driving Ambition, bottom right hand corner. It's a Press Pack given out to people who were invited to attend the Monaco launch, and contains Press photos, Slides, lots of info on Mclaren headed paper, an A4 folder and a pass to get in to the F1 Launch itself

I hadn't seen one for sale before, and when the price was closer to what I was willing to pay I gave in and bought it















I have a few more things coming over the next few weeks, so I'll pop them up here as and when.......

where do you run across these items?? now that im not liquidating my collection anymore, im interested in building it... Ebay (USA) doesnt seem to have many good items with any consistency...

[hurstg01]

Mostly eBay, but sometimes through word of mouth as others know of my collection and when they hear / see of anything going they'll contact me. I have people on all continents emailing me with stuff they find for sale - some of it catches my eye and I buy it, other times its a duplication of what I already have and other times its run-of-the-mill stuff that you can find on eBay every day - sometimes this is a good thing as it may be selling offline for a lot less than what can be found on eBay, which helps fund the rarer objects I / others stumble across

Greg,

It's nice that it's still got the official entry ticket (visiting card) shown in the last photo: they're even rarer than the kit.

I haven't forgot about the AM Presskit.

I'll try and photo it tomorrow and email the shots to you for hosting.

I also found a black Logica Presskit, from the Gulf BPR team at the Brands Hatch round that I'll photo too.

Are these two eluding your collection too perhaps ?

Regards

[hurstg01]

Yes, the AM racing is still missing and is avoiding all the Google algorithms at the moment - the Logica press kit is a new one on me, so it seems I am farther away from my end-goal than I thought.....
