Not for the price I understand he's asking for it...
Amount of $ .... ?
I received an email also, but without pricing, only the message 'Both are Very Expensive! '

I wanted to buy the polo McLaren 50 ; then it was discounted at 20£ and when I was on the McLaren shop, it was discontinued.

So, do you know where I can buy one with S size please ?

thanks

Good that you reminded, I totally forgot about McLaren 50 lineup.
I always wanted to have Ayrton Senna t shirt, or was that MP4-4 on it, but Ayrton Senna written somewhere, I forgot.

OK, so not only did I have a great time at the Festival of Speed, I also managed to squeeze in a little memorabilia buying there too. I've spoken to a couple of very knowledgeable chaps over the past few weeks, and to say their collections are impressive really is under-estimating them.

One guy reminded me of the AM Racing kit I had yet to lay my hands on, and spiked my interest in to looking for one again. Then, out of the blue, I made contact with a guy who was willing to part with some of his collection :)

First off is the AM Racing Press Pack that I have been after for a fair while, complete with one postcard signed by both Chris Goodwin and the fraudster James Munroe!

Next up is another Lapel pin, which I have been looking for over a long period of time just ike the AM Racing Press Pack above -

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/hurstg01/hurstg01006/P1260986Large_zpse06c0e90.jpg

Next up are 2 Franck Muller Press Packs, of which I hadn't seen before -

and, to top off the recent spending spree, I bought these too ;). They are stickers that were given to the winning teams at the race following the one they had won, as well as a guest pass and 4 carbon blanks with stickers on

I see the flaw in your plan Greg, even if all your collection makes massive leaps in value you still won't raise enough to buy an F1, good try though.
Only kidding its a very impressive collection and one to be rightly envious of, you must have some fantastic contacts.

Like these that turned up today out of the blue from a kind hearted soul who never told me they were on their way :thumbsup:. They are postcards of when XP5 was on a Tour in Australia / Asia, and wore the Shell decals

What is the precise date of print Rosso magazine?
Was it on sale in normal Japanese shops? Or was it on a (very) limited place(s) on sale only?

Edit: found it, #8 / 2005.

Hello to you all
I have just found this site and would like to introduce myself. I was the Chief Mechanic for Gulf Racing GTC Competition from 1995 until 1999.
I have a vast collection of models, paintings, documents, books, team clothing, etc etc that I have saved. I am really pleased to see that there is still a great deal of interest in this classic era of sportscar racing. I will always remember the days of racing the Mclaren F1 GTR with the support of Gulf amongst many others. We had the best job in the world at that time......BPR Champions in 1996, Le Mans GT winners in 1997 and many other race wins....Suzuka 6 Hours, Monza, Jarama, Jerez, Nogaro to name a few.
If anyone would like further info on my collection please let me know.
I'm now living back home in Australia and almost retired.......always happy to have a chat about the great days of the Mclaren F1 GTR and maybe I can help to fill in some information...still in touch with team members after all these years....20!!!! and am going to plan a team reunion soon.
Best Regards
Rob

Glad you found us! Working within the Team back then must have been fantastic and what a resource you must be :)

I would be interested to see what you have in your collection :) mostly the documentation but I am sure everything you care to share will be well received :)

Welcome exGTC1 as most will know on here the 1995 Gulf cars are a favourite passion of mine so anything you would be happy to share will be more then welcome and received with the greatest of pleasure.
Of great interest to me personally is anything that made the Gulf cars different from the rest of the GTR's.

Thanks to all of you that sent me a welcome to the discussion. I will post some pics of my models and other bits and pieces that may be of interest over the coming weeks. This will be work in progress as I have only just started to catalogue my collection. I need to take the models out of their cases to get a good pic.
I have attached some paintings that are unique as I commissioned Simon Ward to paint them. First one is Jarama 1996 where we finished first (Ray Bellm and James Weaver) and second (Pierre Henri Raphanel and Lyndsay Owen-Jones). The second is both cars through Eau Rouge with James and Raff driving. We finished second at Spa and I have one of the conrods that let go whilst Lyndsay was driving that put an end to their race.
From memory the engine rebuild was over GBP100,000 in 1996!
I used to have the itemised invoice from BMW for this rebuild...it was about 20 pages...down to the last copper washer. Sadly I cannot find it as I think a box or two went missing on our move from the UK to Oz.
The Porsches started to become a problem for us around this time. How can you compete with a pure racing car entering the GT class? We did compete though...... and won the BPR Championship in 1996.
The third pic is the actual Gulf decal that was on the rear 1/4 panel of the car we lost due to a fire during the 1997 Le Mans race with Andrew Gilbert Scott driving. A lot more to tell about that car and where it ended up in a later life. A good job we were insured!!!

Just tried to upload pics and not working.....off to watch first practice in Bahrain now and will try later. Any tips on uploading appreciated....file is under 300KB so I'm not sure what the problem is.
