Thanks for your help! I think this guy could very well be the owner of that LM.

Matsuda's collection is well documented - he's mainly a Ferrari collector. I'm fairly certain he doesn't own any McLaren F1s.

I had suspected the Japanese F50 GT1 owner was a McLaren owner before, but I had no proof of that. I actually thought he owned #028 which is now here in the US. Never had any facts to back that up with though.

Well, I tried uploading them but it's been sitting at 100% for about 15 minutes. Tried uploadit.org and the same thing happened. Tried the automotiveforums upload service and it said they were too big.

Finally, FINALLY got the pics. After trying freepixhosting.com 3 times, uploadit.org 3 times, failing at AF upload, and joining ferrarichat.com, I finally have the two pictures, thanks to the peloton recommended imagestation.com. I hope this works: You can see a corner of the white F1 in the first pic

Benchi, well done.
Shin Okamoto own a white McLaren F1. His collection is in Mt. Rokko, Japan. I don't believe it's open to the general public, but it has been opened up for Ferrari gatherings before.

What's sad is that I had seen that entire collection of photos before and didn't notice that white F1. I guess it kind of blends in and I may have just been scanning thumbnails - I don't recall.

What's even worse though, is that none of those Ferrari fans who were visiting Shin Okamoto's collection bothered to take one decent photo of the F1.

EDIT: Maybe it's just me, but in the photo of the white F1, does it look like there is a silver one next to it to anyone else? That really looks like it could be to me, especially based on the shape of the mirror and the fact that it has that black trim piece.
