Famous F1 owners ...

Taking aside the obvious, already debated and identified cars of Wyclef John, The Sultan of Brunei, Nick Mason and Jay Leno, who else of note owns a McLaren F1?

George Harrison's F1. Eric Clapton, reputedly has one. And the Prodigy's Liam Howlett. Any others out there? If so, which cars?

Yes, the BAND! The F1 that crashed and killed the 3 occupants was on the outskirts of the village where Liam lives/lived apparantly. When locals heard an F1 had been obliterated they immediately assumed it was his car.

it was some dodgy Jersey-based businessman involved in drugs (allegedly........) that obliterated his F1 overtaking on a hill showing off to his lady friend and one other.

mmmmm...are you sure you don't think about Keith in Prodigy?
Liam is a calm person and mostly concentrate on the music, he rarely make fuzz around himself.
He also has a TVR speed12 by the way!

He has a Speed12? I heard there are only 2 in the world.

Check google.com's image search, lots of different pics of Speed 12s up there.

i don't think he has a Speed 12. He had one on order, i don't think it was delivered.

drunken monkey · #13 06-27-2004, 07:59 PM

did i hear my name....?
cerbera speed 12?
you're sure everyone is talking about the same car?
cos well, there have been two speed 12s from the TreVoR garages....
the first one was just called 'speed12'.
from what i remember, they only built two of these.

what the dude from the prodigy has is the cerbera speed12.
they made them slowly (about 1 per month whilst the books were open).
i dont know why but i keep thinking that the final sign-off number was about 50...
i think i have to make a few phone calls.

as for the original topic of this thread about who owns an F1.
'prince' naseem hamed (the boxer) also had one....
before he wrapped it around a tree....

oh, and my ex-girlfriend's uncle has one as well....

McLaren Mike · #14 06-28-2004, 03:16 AM

what colour, chassis #? etc... just wondering

actually, i'm not 100% sure if it's his.
her uncle is/was the sultan of brunei's pilot, the one who flies the 747 that the sultan sits in (and not the one for his luggage, or the one for his family, or the one for his servants or the one taht goes ahead to check what the weather's like....).
for all i know, it might have just been the sultan's.

i have no idea what colour, or chassis.
it just came up in conversation one day that she's seen one of those at 'home'.
