ENJOY.

Same as when I sat in #013, as I said in that thread I dont have a 'recaro' arse, so found it 'snug'

Waouh,

I believe it may be there . If Rowan still owned it (yes, apparently he did own it for a bit) you could have seen #061 in the paddock, but seeing as its now in new hands I wouldnt get your hopes up of seeing an F1 in the paddock (unless Mr Bridger fancies a drive out.... )

The present owner bought the car from Rowan Atkinson via Taylor and Crawley.The car has been entered for the GT90's Revival meeting.Given mr Atkinson's passion for cars I cannot understand the reason for selling the car,although the gravel found around the damaged cooler maybe a clue .

Of all the Longtails that have competed i feel this is the best,not only for the livery,which was changed for '99,see last pic,but also for the racing history assosiated with it.


Here are some more pics to enjoy.

top work yet again. Great pics Steve!!

Thanks again for the wonderful shots. It's rare to get to see this level of detail on the longtail GTRs.

Please also extend our gratitude on to whomever has ok'd you sharing these images here with us.

It would be very cool along with XP5, #020, #040, #049, #06R, ... opcorn:

No need to apologize - we all have different motives for being here and that's fine.
