Bar the Goodyear sticker on the lower front clip I'd say yes

OK, very nice detail indeed! Thanks.!

Just a ridiculously awesome photo of 10R I borrowed from the Ten Tenths website.

And following that up with another great photo - this one shared by a friend of the program showing #059.



Technically I don't believe this F1 is still in the UK (as of a couple of weeks ago), but it's rather obvious this shot was taken next to the same building where that one rather famous F1 LM shot with the porthole windows was taken, so I figured I'd stick it here.

I spent quite a bit of time cleaning that LM photo up back in the day and have had to do similar with this photo as it was showing a lot of artifacts with heavy compression. I think it has turned into quite a beautiful image as a result - I 'repainted' nearly the entire car!

Click the preview image above for the large version and enjoy!!

Those are actually old pictures of GTR #07R which for a short period of time wore an identical paint scheme to the original livery on #01R. Thanks for finding them though as they are new to me.

New images to me also, thanks!
Erik: How did you regonised this, what is the difference of details?
I can only see that there is no GTR text on the side but #01R didn't had that all the time.

[Peloton25]

I don't think you will find a single photo of #01R without the 'GTR' script on the sides. It was even present on the car at the 1995 Le Mans Pre-Qualifying on April 30th and I don't see any good reason the car would be displayed at a dealership in between then and the race. The next step in its life would have been the conversion to Ueno Clinic colors and after the race we know it has never changed.

The real clues of that being #07R comes down to the tiny antenna on the top of the roof scoop and the differences in the lower front bumper. Compare the images of both and you'll see.

OK, you're right. Every #01R's image what I have is that text. So it must be #07R and looked those details, no choise left.

[cabrio92]

OMG !!!

I reconize the hotel name behind the car, it's in Paris.

It's probably an auction from Artcurial but I don't know the year.

F... good !

Thanks

If my inference skills are still working it appears that XP5 is in the Tag Heuer booth at Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie 2013.

I Believe you're correct. Definitely invitation only (security reasons). A client of mine runs a shipping/insurance company specializing in High-Dollar Jewelry and watch shipments and the security at their shows compares to the Secret Service. Malca-Amit... I'll see if I can get a in touch with him and get a shot.

And didn't you mention that #07R is still the only GTR with the NACA scoops? (Italy Pics)
