As luck would have it - I found something in my quest.

While it's not a real picture, it is a drawing / painting of the Clinic Model in blue. I'm still searching for a photograph, but I have to believe that with AutoCar's access from McLaren Cars, they would be correct.

#001 in London?

I can say with quite certainty, that the car on display in London is not #001. It is not in England, but rather in greater Europe. I am not certain as to which car it is. It is possible that #001 has moved since the last time I inquired of the car for a client.

there were 105 cars in total produced according to McLaren. and other sites as well. Unless theres something they are not telling us... these are divided as follows:

64 "standard" road-legal F1s

28 GTR race cars (3 different versions for '95, '96 and '97 seasons)

5 road-legal F1 LMs

3 road-legal F1 GT long-tail cars (based on the '97 season race car)

plus the 5 XP cars used for development

Total: 105 cars

Now some of these cars don't exist any more due to crashes and others might have been converted to another version (eg. some GTRs might have been made road-legal) but these are all the cars that were ever produced officially. I believe some people in this forum can confirm this...

not quite, there were 6 LM produced (including xplm) and there were 29 gtr's (last tub wan't reced (altho i have been led to believe it was in the 1999 (can't remember, i believe it was 99) Fuji 1000km


this makes the number of chassis' produced a correct 107

However the showroom car might be the car described in the list as "car 001 3rd off the production line - McLarens own car finished in bright silver magnesium". It makes sense...and I don't live in London anymore so cant go there....

its quite possibe the clinic model is the car that is in the mclaren showroom on Park Lane....i have seen it and other pics, and it appears not to have moved for at least 2 years, it could have had some minor adjustments to look like the car it is now (lights, fender changes, indicators changed). i will hopefully find out this summer when i go again. i am also getting in to the taylor and crawley private warehouse, so its gonna be sweet, hopefully the'll have their mclarens there (they have a longtail and a silver f1 road car and i also believe the yellow car is still in their posession. altho it may not be @ the warehouse

i just got back from fort lauderdale, the rumor is true. there is a silver mclaren f1 in the shelton ferrari showroom, and you are free to gawk and take all the pictures you want. its fucking gorgeous. ill post some as soon as i can find a working scanner. when the dealer saw us centered around the mclaren, he came out and opened up all the doors for us. the owner has the car in the showroom for that purpose, and will soon be adding an enzo to that collection. also, the dealer wouldn't tell us exactly when, but they will be taking the mclaren and enzo down to homestead on a track. shelton also has an f40, a modena race car(in the garage), several modenas, a few 550s and one or two 500s, and one of my favorites, a dark blue 456gt. there's also a red testarosa next to the mclaren. ill be going down in a month or two to check up on that enzo and take more pictures of the mclaren. the owner told the dealer that after buying the mclaren, his f50 just didnt do anything for him anymore so he never drives it.

The truth

Petrik had two cars, VIN posted here before.
His CLK GTR is WBD2973971Y000015.
Lauren would never loan his cars for any purposes other than his.
Petrik's F50 may not be a 1995.
No CLK GTR has been approved under S&D.
The car will not pass EPA with it's original engine.

Thanks for the post!

You'll be unhappy to learn that the guy who took all those pictures posts here and we've all seen them several times.

Don't let this news discourage you from future contributions though. There's always new stuff popping up about the various McLaren's in the world.

Gerd Petrik

So everyone knows, Gerd Petrik sold both of his F1's quite awhile ago. I just figured I would clear this up seeing as you mentioned at one point that the car in question may have been his however he sold them awhile back. He still has most of his other cars and is still getting new cars all the time. Also, the departures article was correct about prices he paid for the cars and how long it took him to get many of them. Just thought I would clear a few things up. take care

Well the Departures article only mentions one, but some other sources stated that he did have two. They were both Ameritech cars - one is in the possession of Elon Musk and I believe the other is now Lawerence Strohl's. It really surprises me that he would have two and that he would end up selling both, especially after the way he raved about the car in that article.

Yea its kinda strange that he sold both of them but shit happens I guess and he decided to sell them both. They were both very nice as are all his cars. It was great seeing him pull up in the McLaren to school but oh well. Now we just have to deal with seeing him in his other supercars
