There a bit large - I hope no one minds. If so let me know and I'll resize the embeded shots to make them clickable for these large ones.

Re: Identify this F1 please

Im really starting to like the HDF, I wonder if any owner has opted for a removal? Probably not after a nice bill in the mail by MCL.

Pictures can never do F1's justice but this car just looks fantastic in the carbon.

Exclamation

....and so the bad news is that this car is not chassis #002 as has always been suspected.

I found out from the same source who confirmed the owner's name that this is actually chassis #020 and was originally painted blue prior to the refit with the High Downforce Kit. He wasn't able to confirm that Tony has always owned the car, so I can't be certain if the kit was added on a change of ownership. Maybe someone else here can address that?

Anyway, this info came as a bit of a surprise to me given how close this car appears to the original look of chassis #002. I trust the source I got this info from that he wouldn't lead me astray so if you're keeping track it's time to update the records on this one and I apologize for the misinformation earlier.

Well I did say I didn't think it was 002.

Mind you, I didn't say it was 020 either...

When I got this new piece of info, I recalled that you had said that.

Re: Identify this F1 please

btw, i was going to post this but i couldn't be sure. If you look really closely in some pics you will see that there isn't Mr. Murrays autograph near the ignition. I didn't post it becuase its hard to tell but now i'm pretty sure there isn't
