Yeah - I did - I mentioned in the other thread you resurfaced that I can share a picture later. It's actually fairly boring as far as the cover is concerned. It appears to be a dark green or black cover with just a small "GT" logo above and to the right of the center. The photos inside it look to be excellent though, and since there are so few good shots in circulation of the GTs I'd love to get someone to scan a copy for us. Given their value, most people probably don't even take them off the shelf though.

My photographic memory isn't always perfect I guess. The logo on the cover is actually centered. I have another shot of it with a strange crop that led me off track. Also the cover is indeed green and not black.



Here's some various shots of pages inside. I don't recall how many pages there were in total.











I think I'd actually rather have a copy of this brochure than the Launch Brochure. I'm not an enormous fan of the F1 GT, but there's just not much reference material or many good photos of the 3 cars floating around in comparison to the other F1 variants. Being that it's the rarest of them all, this is certainly understandable, but hopefully someday that will change. Dreaming: Maybe Mr Selldorff will buy one and share it with us the way he has the LM.

There was also a one-sheet printed on the F1 GT. I've only seen one copy of it ever, and it was on Ebay. Someone else here was the winner of that auction, but I don't know if he intends to share better images/scans of it with us. It was two-sided, with a beautiful shot on the front and some smaller detail shots on the reverse along with some text about the car and McLaren Cars contact info.

Interesting.... I've heard the story of these scans somewhere before. If you don't mind telling, did you make them yourself or did you get them from someone else?

Do you have scans of the Launch Brochure as well by chance?

Wow !

This GT brochure is a collector´s dream. I should start saving money for that if it shows at ebay again.

Thank You very much for the pictures

Re: Re: Mclaren F1 Gt Brochure On Ebay!!!!!

Does anyone remember the final price of this gem? Or was 400$ the highest bid?

$400 was not the final bid. As I recall the auction closed at something like $1035 or maybe even a bit more than that.

Much money for a brochure but I think the price is ok for such a rare item. The guy who made the fotos even had two of them, and I have none

Thanks for putting up the pics Peloton. Never knew the GT brochure was that thick. I had assumed it was only 8 pages. My priorities have now changed. I must acquire one of those.

If Mr. Seldorff does get a GT, I'll buy a ticket to the East Coast and spend at least 3 days and 15 gigs worth of memory to photograph every detail of that car.

Regards

Ohhhh...my god the GT is the coolest looking car in the world!
Unlike anything else!
What I like the most about it is that it's just a little over the top:-)

51XPGT is my favorite McLaren of all time and Mr.Selldorff please take a deep dig in your wallet and give us the ultimate McLaren for show and review!

Comparing that GT goodie to Driving Ambition is out of this world!
