Orange McLaren F1 in Atlanta?

[teflon]

This is a post from another forum:

I found this car in Atlanta. The fellow who owned it was a meticulous collector. When I got to his house, he has six garages (3 each facing each other with a common motorcourt).

I got there and in the garage with the F40 was an F50 and a Maserati convertible. We walked from that garage across the driveway to the opposite side and the other three garages. I walked inside the garage, and there sat a McLaren F1 (Orange), an Enzo, and a Gallardo. We fired up the Enzo and the McLaren and they are truly amazing machines (the McLaren is just the ultimate, no question). In fact, I was supposed to go back down there and drive the McLaren and Enzo when I picked up the F40, but I arranged for enclosed transport and having a standing invitation to return any time to drive the ultimate road car.

When I do, you'll be sure to get the narrative of THAT experience.

best of all, this guy was totally cool and completely at ease with his toys....truly a gentleman. He chooses to remain anonymous, and I'll respect that...

Any thoughts on this?

There is someone on another forum claiming that he met someone (young) that claims to own an F1 LM that he keeps in the Atlanta area. I don't necessarily believe that story yet, but the one you tell has some odd parallels. Can you possibly show this person a shot of #038, #073 and one of the converted GTRs or LM3 and see if they can tell you which car it looks most like?

We assumed that when #038 showed up at that show in Houston that Dan Kennedy no longer owned it. The new owner may be Alfredo Brener.

#073 is owned by Don Wallace of Tampa, FL at last report. I wouldn't think he would sell that car already, but maybe someone made him a sweet offer.

There's also a report that GTR #07R is here in the USA now. It hasn't materialized in any photographs, but that doesn't mean the story is false. In fact, if the story I found proves to be true, then I suspect that the car it references may be #07R.

See what you can dig up though.

I'm not sure if thise is the one you're talking about, but there is an Orange GTR for sale and I believe it's in the US. Lemmie look into and get back to you on that...

The orange GTR that is supposed to be here in the USA somewhere and for sale is #07R. The ad is listed here:

Not quite sure what to make of it though. CarClassic is a listing service that can put you in touch with the proper contacts. They don't actually own the cars they have listed and at times their info/photos are not accurate.

If I could get more info, I might be able to check this out, as I live in Atlanta. Heck, it will give me an excuse to buy a new digital camera.
