New pics of V.I.N. 040

Here are probably some of the best pictures of #040 ever seen:







Watch at those beautiful details such as are the "genuine" 19" wheels (with the Enzo's tyres), the polished silencer, the cut out "lightweight carpet" and the carbon parts like the frame around the panel, the doorhandle and the inner door cover...
Also very interesting is the larger diameter of the steering wheel...

Re: New pics of V.I.N. 040

They are good aren't they! I have had these for a while but just filed away as other pics on my #040 folder - I haven't had the chance to look at them more closely. I had noticed in another thread that the steering wheel is a bit larger (and suede), mainly for fast track driving, though I never knew the tyres were off an Enzo

I see from the open door shot that 040 wasn't the only McLaren F1 there !

Did you get any shots of the F1 GTR parked in front of 040 in this sequence ?

Love the detail on the photos, many thanks !

Yes I did. Finally, it is his car...
But our main interest should be focused on the cars not on their owners!

Re: New pics of V.I.N. 040

Many thanks Roger

Great find.

Germanys Auto motor und sport did a short article on VOX channel, about #040, which I have on dvd, must have been from the same test. I put up some screengrabs (poor) sometime back.

This, I will share with you,

I,ll PM you, sometime over the weekend.
