"McLaren at LeMans - The Pursuit of Perfection" Video

[cche2052]

Hey guys.

I just found that rare little nugget at an automotive memorabellia store! The shop was relocating so I snapped up the 3 copies of the tape to share with u guys. At around 14 bucks a pop i thought it was pretty reasonable...

If you guys are interested let me know, I'll put em up on eBay soon.

Cheers!

Are they PAL or NTSC? I own a PAL copy that I had converted to NTSC, but would rather have a real NTSC copy if I could get one.

I've had it for a while. I also just (within the past 2 days) snagged copies of the 95 and 96 le mans vids

[cche2052]

They're NTSC

Also, I was thinking... depending on how many of you are interested... I'm thinking of sending the tape (before it gets mouldy or degrades from playback) in its new condition to a local video archive store that'll run the tape through their enhancement algorithms and press it onto a DVD... If enough of you are interested I'll split the cost of this (50 Bucks i think) with all of you and I'll burn copies for you guys. You just have to reimburse me for the dvdr, postage and the shared cost of conversion.

I'll start the ball rolling:

...and I'll take one copy of the tape as well if your open to purchase offers.

1 more?

[cche2052]

Yup, 1 more and the conversion is 10 bucks per person. I'll go ahead and do it once we have 1 more

What exactly is on the DVD and how much will it all cost? How long is the video length?

[Peloton25]

Admittedly, I haven't watched it in a while so the details are a bit fuzzy.

The video is about 1 hour long and starts off with the story of the F1, an interview of Gordon and shots inside the factory. It leads into the story of the GTR and then eventually centers on the trip to LeMans. It really is a great video from start to finish and I think anyone reading this forum regularly would definitely get something out of it.

Late as usual but I'm in for one if there's a slot for me. Paypal, personal check, money order, let me know who, where, and when and the funds are on the way.

looks like we got our 5...
now all we need is the who, what, where, when, and how we should send the funding for this little endeavor?
