What Mclarens do you have pictures of?

Well I have always believed that the GT brochure was made using photos of 56XPGT, and only 56XPGT. It was completed long before the other two GTs were built (the chassis history chart shows 8 road cars were built inbetween) and is the only one they claim was painted green.

We have touched on this Black?/red interior F1GT before in this thread!

Perhaps the Sultan will send us a pic of his black F1GT interior and solve the conundrum!

Erik, You may be right, on your refit theory. Great scans btw

Well what do you know - I had totally forgotten about that discussion.

Don't bet on it...

Apologies for what may seem like beating a dead horse, but I was just looking through "Driving Ambition" again and wanted to note the caption included on page #241 here which validates my claim that the brochure photos feature 56XPGT.

"Lord of the Isles: McLaren's 'stretch limo' long-tailed GT Model permitted extended body overhangs to be homologated for the '97 season's racing F1 GTR. Colin Curwood conducted a full photo shoot on the prototype in the wintry western highlands of Scotland."

Thanks for that information.

I finally took a look at the chassis history poster included with "Driving Ambition" and chassis #033 is shown as the 26th F1 built (counting production cars only) or it was exactly the 30th built if you include the first four F1 GTRs. Suffice to say, I'm becoming fairly confident the car he wrecked was #033 and I'll be marking my folder of those images as "probably #033" until proven otherwise.

Maybe now that Mr Pischetsrieder has some free time again, I can get in contact with him and find out what he recalls. Anyone have his email address?

I leave for a few days and a thread about which F1 pics we have turns into an F1 GT interior timeline.

[Peloton25]

Do you still need some of the pics you were missing? I can prob link you to a lot of them hiding in the forum already, so it's no trouble.

Hi Greg, would you like some pics of #033 base silver!!

I have what appears to be this car on vhs tape, it comes from the channel 4 tv program, "With out walls" Auto erotic - supercars. Aired in March 95. So the cars shown, are very early 95 production.

The car is shown complete in the factory,the only significant feature, drivers seat with a grey centre insert. Similar in appearance to the "oracle" reg no car (pics in hanger) Also with a shot of a white front panel behind (pos from #031) followed by a magnesium silver car.

If I have time, I shall sort some pics out this weekend.

Check the transmission date, then check the factory biuld schedule. I may be wrong!!..... but also look at the other cars/parts in pics. Also the 95 GTR wind tunnel model on the bench in the background. No silver cars were made late in 94!.
