Did anyone get any Mclaren F1 related Christmas presents v2013

Hi All

I hope you all are having a restful festive break

So, seeing as the madness of a few days ago should have subsided by now, did anyone get any Mclaren F1 related presents for Christmas?

I have 2 things, both en route, and both pretty special that I shall post up once they arrive.

Seeing as I have a few days 'til they arrive and I am just twiddling my F1-thumbs, post up what you've been given this year

[Sami Aaltonen]

Nothing here.
Anyone else?

[PatrickT82]

nope nothing. I hope to see some F1's I have not seen before in 2014

Due to (work related) circumstances my Christmas presents are somewhere in a shipping proces still . . . a book and a thing

[astonmartindbs001]

Not exactly F1-related, but I got these McLaren P1 books by Autocar, courtesy of McLaren Kuala Lumpur. Pretty nice gesture from my friends there, in any case.





Only one is mine though, the other 2 went to McLaren enthusiast friends of mine who requested copies through me.

Belated Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

One of mine arrived today - A Limited Edition of Driving Ambition #320, to complement by even-more rare Le Mans Limited Edition of Driving Ambition [35/59]

[f1esp]

How many Limited Edition books do you own?

[hurstg01]

I have 2 - #320 from the original run of 1,000 Limited Edition Driving Ambitions. From that original run of 1,000 Mclaren chose 59 and made those in to the Le Mans Edition of Driving Ambition, of which mine, out of the original run of 1,000 is numbered 475, and out of the run of 59 I have #35

[f1esp]

So the 59 Le Mans Edition books don't have a Chassis number #XX/59.

[hurstg01]

They have the same plaque as the run off 1,000 as per above, but they also had this chassis number too, to differentiate it from the 1,000 [mine still has the protective film on it]

[carbuilder2002]

Very nice things to have indeed

I hope you didn't pay $1000 for #320 to these Japanese brothers who are trying to sell their Limited Edition in eBay since 2010...

Nope, I got mine for cheaper than that, and with cheaper shipping and that seller has had a few for sale and sold a few.

[f1esp]

I'd like to buy the Le Mans Edition of Driving Ambition.
Do you know if that seller could help me?

I don't think that seller has a copy. There are none left at the factory, and the last one that came up for sale was snapped up straight away for a number of multiples above what the factory price was.

Bearing in mind the car is currently more than 10x the price it was when launched, surely the Le Mans book should take the same jump?
