Anyone going to this? I hear there may be a green F1 going..

carbuilder2002 · #2 07-24-2014, 10:30 AM

Would that be a somewhat extended F1?

hurstg01 · #3 07-24-2014, 10:39 AM

Apparently not.. XP5 if MSO can confirm?

ETA - Its on the Wilton House Facebook page

Correct, just needs a greasy rag rubbed over her and will be ready. She had her MOT the other day and is in fine fettle.

Well with a fresh MOT surely someone will be driving it over, yes?

I was just wondering about this. Are XP1 LM and XP56GT kept in similar state or are they non-running at the moment?

M.S.O · #10 07-31-2014, 02:45 AM

XP1LM hasn't run since 2002, XPGT last ran in about 2009 IIRC. Plans are afoot to get both in running and driving condition soon.

How much is involved in re-commissioning an F1 back into road-worthy condition?
I am assuming it is much more than just a quick check over and MOT requiring at least a fuel cell replacement seen as they only have a 5 year lifespan?

M.S.O · #12 07-31-2014, 08:00 AM

correct. We have worked with BMW Motorsport for a run up procedure amongst many other items we go through.

I'd presume all the cars that have sat for years like the Brunei bunch or that one in Singapore would need similar?

Glad to hear the LM and GT are getting put back on the road, would be lovely to see them at Goodwood or at a track event or something. A dream would be for them to be tested by magazines/Nürburgring though with what they're worth I wouldn't imagine that'll ever happen.

I know there are several magazine tests of the LM, the one that particularly springs to mind is the in depth article in I think it was Car Magazine and another where they tested the 0 - 60 - 0 time.
Not sure about the GT though.

It was 0-100-0 and it was 11,5s. :-D
Is it still record?
