No problem. Nice to know that there is at least someone who still cares for stuff like this.

Thanks for the pics. That color looks real good on the F1.

so XP4 resides in America?

I thought McLaren kept all XPs???

They sold XP4 to an American?

They actually sold XP4 to a New Zealander named Sir Roger Bhatnagar who kept the car for just over six years before it was sold to the American Larry Blair. Sir Roger may have had some connection to the Bruce McLaren family, or that could be myth.

Here's a thread where this was covered once before:

XP1 was destroyed in a crash. XP2 was eventually crushed, per Gordon. XP3 was given to Gordon. So far the factory has retained posession of XP5, though Ron Dennis has considered selling that car. They also have XP1LM, and at last report have 56XPGT, though that car is also reported to be for sale or could have been sold by now.

I think it was sold to the McLaren family who sold it to Roger Bhatnagar who then sold it to Larry Blair. I will have confirmation of this fairly soon.

Definately worth the $40 price of admission wasn't it!

I found some additional photos of XP4's visit to Laguna Seca a while back. I made some tweaks to them and thought I would share.











Damn this car looks good on track.

yep ! F1 is born to race! , btw ,who is the XP4 owner ?

[F1 monster]

XP4 owner is someone named Larry Blair. He has a Carrera GT and a Ferrari 360 as well. Would you mind making your signature picture smaller, please? It makes your one-line post about 5 times bigger than it needs to be. Thanks.

Peloton, thanks for the pics!
