Another pair of McLaren yet ! But which ones ;-)

Hello all !

please look at this picture : (if it is too big, please make a link)



this pic was taken near Austria/Germany border few years ago by TwinTurbos that I thanks

at start, I believed that they were #073 (pics here : http://carpics.free.fr/SC03/SupercarRally03.html) and #002, I think that #020 plate is "I3 MAC" and this one is "M35I HPM"

But !

I am sure of nothing, the red one looks exteriorly exactly the same than #073 but
1) the plate is not he same
2) from twinTurbos, the interior is a little different from shots of #073 with more apparent carbon.
So, it could be #073 or ...

For the black one, it looks exactly like #002 or #020 or hmmm, does it exist other F1 like that ?

I hear your comments

Ciao

[maartenvanthek]

Hello,

thanks for your comments.

I have another pic which give no more details except the plate.

I made a search for the plates. The "Z" indicates that tax are not paid in Swiss. If it is #073, the pic should be taken before 2002

yeeha!!!

ps i saw last Friday a yellow Mclaren on the back of a trailer going through Chobham, probably on the way to the new HQ to get fixed / serviced?.........

Hello,

very interesting hurstg01.
Do you have pics of #071 ?

I think that pics of this black F1 at Goodwood was already put on the forum.

PS : how many McLaren at Goodwood in 2003 ?

[hurstg01]

i saw the one mentioned above, and i think i remember seeing a static display with a racing version there too.

At the Goodwood 'do' in September last year, i saw Juan Barazi's car on the road going into the dusty car park behind the main straight, and it parked between a 4x4 and a mini cooper 's'

Isn't the red one the one thatwas auctioned at Christie's and labelled the best mclaren out there?

[cche2052]

And i think the black one with the red stripe was featured on 5th gear's GREATEST CARS, driven by Tiff. And it was also featured in Topgear, driven by Murray Walker, legendary F1 commentator.

No idea on their respective serial nos. thou. Peloton?

Oh, and is this red car the same one as the red car that was photographed together with an LM in one of the other threads?

[cabrio92]

Hello,

OK hurstg01.

cche2052 > the one you speak is #073. For me at 80%, it is this one on pic.
For the other, it has the plate "I3 MAC".

Ciao

Cool.

So does that mean we have 4 confirmed Mclarens with a red stripe on each side?

1)the 13Mac
2)the one in the above pic
3)Jay Leno's
4)the silver one in japan

Out of curiosity, how many of you would specify a red stripe on your imaginary f1?

[hurstg01]

not me

i'd rather it was as 'clean' as possible, preferably silver, black or yellow (to be different), with either a cream or tan interior

oh, and with f1 gmh as its number plate too!....
