I think I might have bagged two more LM owners
Marc Chase of LaJolla, CA Robert Heinz (Heinz Ketchup), Newport Beach, CA I read it off the rapidcars.com forums and I don't believe it, but I guess it's possible because we only know for sure where 2 LM's are - one in Japan and Selldorff's in massachusetts Any more information on these owners?

 As for those names, I can guarantee they don't own LMs - Mr. Selldorff's is the only one in the USA and probably will remain the only one here as the others more than likely will never be sold. I have also never heard either of those names associated with F1 ownership. That isn't to say that they are incorrect, just none that I have ever heard of. If you can find out more information, I'd be interested in hearing it. >8^) ER

Re: Re: Where are F1 LM's located worldwide?
Well, I doubted the guy even more when he said his uncle owns a dark silver mclaren that he keeps in storage in San Fransisco: "My Uncles is Silver/Greyish-Black. He dosent drive it to often, thats why its in a storage area in SanFran."
Woah, I just read his reply to when I told him only 1 LM is in america: "AND I have MET MARC and he has a MCLAREN F1 LM, SAME WITH ROBERT HEINZ! GET YOUE FRIGGIN FACTS STRIGHT , LOOK THEM UP, I HAVE THIER PHONE NUMBERS TOO, CALL THEM YOU YOU DONT BELIEVE ME. DAMN, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MCLARENS EGH!"

Re: Where are F1 LM's located worldwide?
Some questions that came to mind when I read this ...
1. There's a lot of the McLaren Can Am racers floating around. Is that what he means? ie. they may own McLarens, but do they own the McLaren F1 roadcars? 2. And if they do own F1 roadcars, great, but they definitely do not own McLaren F1 LMs. He seems to be adamant about them being LMs...you should ask for pictures.

found these on the sc.net indies so they are probably made up...
"I used to be a valet at the Builtmore Resort in Phoenix, Arizona. As a valet at the Builtmore, I have drive many cars, you name it, there's a strong chance i've probably driven it. Anyways, Phoenix, Arizona is the home city of Frank Molina, heard of him? Mr. Molina is the proud owner of an F1 McLaren LM, he also dines regularly at the Builtmore. As one of the valets who have driven his F1 McLaren LM, i must say, it most definately is the best car i have ever driven, and i have driven many very fancy cars. Well... that was my response, feel free to reply to me if you want." ------------------------------------------------- So, a friends uncle is a rich business man and I mean rich. He has an LM and he came over to England to see his brother and his nephew (my friend), I was with him when his uncle arrived and we got talking about how I love cars especially the McLaren F1, he says 'Oh really? You like LMs?' ME: 'Hell yes!' him 'Oh well, I own one', Me (knowing hes insanely rich) 'No way!' 'Yeh, its in Germany for Autobahn driving'. I Call my friend over and was all like did you know and hes like, yup. His uncle then gave me and his nephew a offer I couldn't resist; 'Tell you what guys, do you want to come over to Germany with me and I'll take you around in the McLaren?' Me(going wobbly at the kneews): 'That would be amazing' Fast foward a week and a half and he pays for us to fly in the daddy of all classes to Germany, we meet him in Germany and he goes and picks up the car and comes back to pick us up (My jaw dropped, amazing). After going around town he got onto the Autobahn, he cruised for about 10 miles and plastered the gas, the car leaped and the engine roared for our pleasure, we get up to 180mph and he dives in front a truck after seeing space and he hammered it probably approaching 200mph when he goes 'somethings wrong, the steering really light...'. Sitting in the car it felt skitty all of a sudden, so he pulls over... Not that far behind us the truck had pulled in aswell. We get out and HOLY FU--! NO WING!? We then saw the trucker get out and we went up to see him (just to see why he pulled over, after us all having a heart attack) we get closer and the radiator is steaming, get closer and realise unbelievably the wing of the LM had peirced through the grille of the truck and gone straight through the radiator! Needless to say the trucker was pissed and we were amazed and upset. We proceeded to remove the wing from the grille/radiator. It was in one piece! Apart from the peice that failed which was only smallwhich was lodged next to the wing. I couldn't believe my eyes. So after giving the trucker good cash we went back to the car. We drove it slowly back to a garage where he stores it, he rings up McLaren and he gets the price, £14,000 ($25,000). He's not getting a new one thats just for attaching the peice that failed on the wing back on and remounting the wing itself. FUC-! But for my friends uncle thats really not that much I suppose, but still alot for what it is and he won't be able to drive the car until McLaren send their mechanic over..." ------------------------------------------------- "From what I hear there is 1 in Italy, 1 in Brazil, 1 in England, and I believe 1 in oh, was it Argentina?"

Re: Where are F1 LM's located worldwide?
Hello,
Humm, There are three cases ! 1) it is wrong 2) it is not an LM but a GTR or road car modified 3) it is an LM and there are more than 5 LM ! So, why not => it would means that Sultan of Brunei's LMs could be an extra like F50 !!!!!!!!! It's amazing. If it is true, he could ask his friend to know VIN ? Goodbye Philippe

Re: Where are F1 LM's located worldwide?
Hello minimagic !
I made reference to the six F50 delivered to Sultan but not counted in 349 total production. I heard "if we knew all cars owned by the Sultan of Brunei, the supercars market could crashed". A question which come : are there any McLaren in Middle East ? Goodbye Philippe

Re: Where are F1 LM's located worldwide?
The Bolide was a design study based on the F50GT. No cars were completed or delivered.
We do know of almost all the cars that the Sultan of Brunei has. The collection has been in receivership for the last 18 months. Cars are being released slowly, one or two at a time, and are usually on the market for less than 48 hours. Most of them are in poorly maintained condition and will require work to get them roadworthy again. Most of them are also going to buyers in Europe and Asia. These were the cars in the palace warehouses. The whereabouts of the McLarens are unknown, but I have not heard about them being among these cars. Presumably, they are being counted as the Sultan's private property, and will never be sold. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are kept at residences abroad --someplace like Switzerland or Monaco.
