Need help identifying a car
In this weeks' Autocar their is an interview with former F1 driver and current F1 commentator Martin Brundle. He is pictured in the pit lane of the Oulton Park pitlane where he was filming a video coming out this christmas. And i'll certainly be buying it cos he's standing in front of a McLaren and an Enzo (plus alot of other supercars, Zonda, Eb110 etc.). The Mclaren appears to be a Magnesium silver car with a high downforce kit and wheres the number plate M99 PES. Any ideas as to chassis number? I bet the McLaren eats the Enzo for breakfast (apart from under braking of course)!

I have a feeling I know which car it is, but unfortunately, not necessarily the chassis number. Any chance you can tell the interior color from the photograph?
Incidentally, no car can "eat the Enzo for breakfast" - give it the credit it deserves.  >8^) ER

Its not easy to tell but it looks light grey. The car is just to far away in the photo for me to be sure.
I know the McLaren won't come home 10 seconds ahead of the Enzo, but i do think it will beat it. I hope so anyway cos i hate how arrogant Ferrari have been about the car, especially their inabilty to provide a car to the press for fully independant testing. Perhaps they're scared.........

I'm not at home, so I had to go find the photo. I think it could be this car:
 Just an assumption of course... If it's the brighter silver that he's referring to, then there are two of those out there. One is the 'R66 MCL' car which we have already discussed at length. >8^) ER Last edited by Peloton25; 10-22-2003 at 10:12 PM.

The car in the foreground of the first photo appears to have a body coloured wing, which the car Martin Brundle poses with dosn't. It looks to be unpainted carbon fibre which would suggest the car in the background and 4th photo. Any idea of the chassis number or owner of this car?

I don't believe the car in the foreground of this photo truly has a body-colored rear wing. I think the bare carbon is just catching the reflection from the overhead lighting.
If the car in Autocar is that color, then it could be either of these cars. One is obviously the 'R66 MCL' car - possibly the one with it's back to us since we can't see the lights. I will say that I don't know if the funky lights on that car were originally fitted, or refit items. No idea on the chassis number or owner of either car. That's your region of the world TcarR. Remember, I only handle North America.  >8^) ER

Re: Need help identifying a car
nope for owner and chassis number, tvrfreak may know tho. I'm not too sure thats a body colored wing, i think it may be the light reflecting or the reflection of the roof of the building that was taken in

I hate Magnesium silver for the sole reason that it makes cars difficult to identify. Now with 065 out of the showroom i can't think of one identifyable silver car.
BTW: Peloton, do you know the chassis number of the car you posted?

No unfortunately.
I am also only aware of two other photos of that particular car. One is of the interior - it has the "F1 GT-style" pleated leather in a light tan. The other is a shot of the steering wheel and gauges - it has the non-standard steering wheel - similar to Dan Kennedy's if you can find a photo, and a few other F1s. I believe its the "removable wheel" actually. Hope that helps - mini magic or I can post those additional photos later if they don't sound immediately recognizable. >8^) ER
