Note;- Chassis 028 uses the central monocoque first plated as 027. Which was damaged in shakedown and subsequently repaired and badged 028, as a spare chassis.


19R,s Completion date was 18th Nov 96..... No more GTR,s were completed in 96.

Very interesting detail information!
Thank you! So...the IXO Model is 19R. Case closed.

Now this is getting an interesting! HOH why the date is wrong, scale models should be very detailed!...
So the 27R was at the Goodwood 2005 with that registerplate seen on the scalemodel?!

Well anyway, atleast the car is exist. One thing is for sure.

Indeed - the two photos of it I had posted that you quoted on the last page are from the Goodwood FOS in 2005 when #27R was positioned on the lawn in front of what I believe is Lord March's house.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong on that last little detail about the house, as I have certainly never been there myself.

Yes, I expected that it would be question about those two shots early seen on the forum. But nice to know, the scale model is 27R, if someone asks....opcorn:

No correction needed

You all maybe have seen this Supercars.net website, and have seen this McLaren F1 LM section there.
This is typical example for "looks same, yes it is same"..

A few larger pics of XP1 LM is right, but then there has those 6 different images. The three right ones are LM, which one? My infromations tells me that it must be LM2, 3 or 5. Which one this is?

The rest four have been taken different place, different background than that LM car has.
Windscreen banner has clear "GTR" texture in it. No roof scoop, this must be 1995 year GTR, but which #07R or #08R?
This information I have, these are the only two converted 95' GTR's which have got the Orange repaint.

Here is couple of more images, same cars showed.
I'm 99% sure the LM is same car every image, or is it? Difficult to say but seems like it, if you look the background closely.

The 3 right ones are XP1LM as per the decal on the lower side in front of the rear wheel, possibly taken by Al (?)..

The 3 left hand side pics are of #16R (you can just about make out the registration plate M700BHP on the 3rd pic...)

OK all clear.

Hello,

I am looking for #07R, #11R, #13R different plates actually and in the past to solve another puzzle.

Thank you
Phil

[hurstg01]

Was it DocGTR who told me about this, when I asked it recently;
it's still guite much full racespec, but still legal to drive local streets. It's located I think Bahrain today, so
NOW we have to remember; Bahrain and Dubai and sorf of countries has a bit different culture these things than we have here Europe.....

[Peloton25]

Phil - You can get away with a lot when your father is the King.

I could have sworn there was a photo of the car wearing a plate, but I've either lost the image or am losing my mind.
