McLaren Bits 'n' Bobs.......

[f1-lm]

I dont think anyone knows this, but i also recently purchased a McLaren Original badge. The weird thing is, it was from the same guy peloton25 got his from!!!

here is a pic of the badge, and also a smaller one i have + a McLaren keyring which is also in my possession. (this is the new style keyring, and not the roadcar version)

They are in great condition! and im well chuffed with them!!!

i know of the 96GTR red / 97GTR black folders.
i would love some pics if poss.
Thanks.

Cool deal man - that looks like a nice set as well.

Is that a nose badge or is it like mine from the rear grille? Also, do you know which car it came off of and why?

the 2 badges came from the same auction like yours, the keyring was purchased seperately.

i think they came off the same car as yours???

Nice purchase F1LM. Both you and Peloton seemed to be at the right place at the right time. Those badges look to be cloissone.

I managed to get my hands on the following a while back:
- 2 gear shafts
- 3 gears
- 4 GTR Magnesium alloy wheels 2 - 18x11 front and 2 - 18x13 rear painted in Gulf orange, purchased piece by piece. 1 signed by Sekiya, the other I have pics of the wheel being dragged into the pits by a Gulf car.
- 1 Aluminum alloy wheel nut from McLaren team (also have 1 from Porsche GT1)
- 2 suspension arms
- 3 carbon rotors
- Davidoff/GTC pit crew suit (actually fits me too) made by Stand 21
- F1 logo pin

that is some cool shizzle!!!
how much did you pay for all of that?
mustve been loads!!!
i remember seeing a wheel that was advertised as a coffee table, is that one of the four you have purchased?


i have a few more bits on the way....

will post more info when they arrive!

does anyone know??? if all the driving ambition books have the steering wheel on the hardcover??? (underneathe the protective cover) or is this only on the limited edition???

if so, how can i tell the difference???

also, does anyone know of that F1GT press folder i was going on about earier? any pics?

[Peloton25]

All the "Driving Ambition"s have the steering wheel embossed on the cover. The Limited Edition versions of the book come in a box - like a nice decorative one from what I recall, and the Owner's Edition of the book is actually bound in leather I believe. The Limited Edition versions also have something like 400pgs to the standard books 272pgs. (I think those numbers are accurate)

i think its a bonnett badge, but im not sure,

it has nuts n bolts on the rear, does this mean its from the back, or the front???

great pics, keep em comin everyone!!

cheers

The wheel nut and suspension arms are cool.

The gears are interesting because they are straight cut. That's what gives them their 'audible' charm.

Mind if I ask what you paid for the wheels? I've wanted one, but wouldn't know what something like that goes for. The few times I have seen them offered on Ebay was not very confidence inspiring from a buyer's perspective so I didn't bid.

Are they all the orange Gulf color? Also, are they the OZ Chrono style, or multispokes more like the Superturismo?

The last time (and the only time so far.....) i saw one of those, was when i first started collecting McLaren Stuff. (the guy advertised it as a coffee table or something) and yes!! it is a wheel i am talking about!!!
It was already on way too much for me to bid, (i cant remember exactly, but it was wayyyy toooo much at the time)

I still havent had any replies about the F1 GT Press folder???
Anyone know anything about it???

chek this pic of my '97 F1 GTR LongTail Press Folder

http://www.imagestation.com/mypictur...er%20-%20Front

and some one pleasepleasepleaseplease reply about the F1 GT Folder.

Your image link isn't working for me. Go back to that page, right-click on the image and select "Properties". Then copy the "URL" from the 'http:// all the way to the .jpg' and paste it between "[img]" & "[/img]" (leaving out the quotation marks) here on the forum. That should work to embed your image into your post.

As for an F1 GT Press Kit or Press folder, I'm not sure that a separate one exists. I think they may have only done the brochure for the F1 GT.

elo mate,

That pic should work now

damn, i would really like one of those F1GT brochures to add to my collection.

i missed out on one recently, and it went more than it was offered to me for.

Damn!!!

You guys would have died if you saw the auction that ended quite low in Ebay Germany this summer.
It was a complete muffler and exhaust system for a GTR!
Ended at 150 Euro!!
I'm not getting the kink to work anymore now because of Ebay 90day on file policy.
I'm sure you guys would have loved it!
By the way Peloton, remember a long time ago I referred to a "source" I had?
I'm sure he has some interesting stuff that would rock your world:-)
