McLaren F1, Sandhurst, Berkshire!!!!!

Russy B

Russy B

Car  Was a 197
I nearly couldnt believe my eyes when i saw this, possibly the best n rarest spot?!?!?!?!

Oh and saw a GT40 too the other day, cant remember where i was though!!!
 
saw a veyron in beaconsfield in On The Run Esso garage when they 1st came out, couldnt believe it! had 2 stop and take sum pics, will try and dig them out!
 
it was going rond the roundabout in the opposite direction so no possible chance for pics.

Suppose with mclaren head office in woking, shudnt be surprised
 
Aye certainly is, most likely Mr Claptons who lives in Cranleigh, although I think his is Yellow so there could be more than one!
 
yeh seen a few of them nr wyc, saw jk driving his black 1 in princess risboro! see him around quite a bit in the summer driving sum of his exotica!

I saw a red one, part of a convoy including another rarri and several amg mercs. All had similar private plates, guesssing a collection or minted family.
Spotted an f40 in convoy with a diablo in haywards Heath last week, incredible.

lol ill see if i can get them of my old phone, i rememba it was cream and red and had a french pl8 on it. my missus at the time couldnt understand why i turned round to have a look she sed "its only a bloody car...." women!
 
I saw a Mclaren F1 about 10 years ago at the Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire. It was just dumped half on the pavement, half on the road too.

My rarest spots are an F40, a Ford GT40 (a real one, not the new one) and a lovely 4 1/2 ltr Bentley.
 
ill second that, they r the bloolcks! my godfathers got 1 in storage for a guy who used to be the MD of EMI, hes got loadsa nice cars there but they never get driven! he even got 2 drive a mclaren f1 back from heathrow airport once for a customer! lucky sod!!!
 
not that rare, but one's I remember are Veyron in France (but that was only 1 mile from the factory so doesn't really count), F40 x 2(on ferry going to Le Mans, on the road to Le Man saw all sorts including a Radical driven by a complete lune) and a Carrera GT which I followed for miles across Milton Keynes - sounded incredible.

I think I probably saw the same on on the A23 a bit nearer London a few months back.

Sex.
 
I've seen a silver McLaren F1 in Banbury once and an Enzo in Oxford.

The guy that lives behind us (Peter Taylor) was a McLaren test driver and instructor (for when you bought the car) and had F1's in his garage every now and then. Was before we moved in though so never had the chance to ask for a go :(

I can vouch for it too cos krispwee is my bro and i cudnt believe it wen i saw that mclaren F1 in banbury. horrid colour but then none of them were in a particulary nice colour apart from GTR orange one but still Looked epic!! Yeah was gutted we never got to go in one!!
 
ive only ever seen one mclaren and it was an orange gtr at the NEC autosport show. some chuffing bloke in a suit was stood right in the way for photos though all day :@
 
GT40 in the first one (near the front leaving the pub)

An Enzo with us at the same meet and there is a pic of Nick Mason's McLaren F1 car (the drummer of Pink Floyd and a very nice guy - despite his dodgy paintwork - sorry Nick!)

And an F50 too

The chap that owns the F50 also owns a F40 as well as a few other toys :cool:

Nick always checks ClioSport to see if someone has said something about his paint.
 
In the top left pic you can see my old red 360 (my plate ADZ89) so wasn't really car spotting as I was out with the guys, which I do on a constant basis.

I even brought a couple along to one of the Clio meets a few weeks back.

Obviously for some reason you have taken some kind of offence to me putting the pics up even though you were drooling over such cars so somewhat surprising you give me the sarcasm comments.

To save Tom the effort.

Last autumn i saw a burgundy McLaren F1 here in Kent. I looked it up the day after and supposedly it was Rowan Atkinson's but i can't say the driver looked famous. The car was also surprisingly dirty.

I've seen a few Enzos, how many did they make? Like F40s, i don't think they're actually that rare. I was unfortunate to enough to be in the same hotel as the geekiest owners club in the world last weekend and saw a dark red Enzo which was interesting, because i thought they were all either yellow, red or black... Anyway, the view from my room:

I've also seen a very rare road going F1 GTR in Hong Kong. It has been at the same garage for years. The owner asked the garage to store it for him and nothing else. He has been billed each month and paid promptly each time but has NEVER visited it! The sad thing is, it is under a cover left outside! Due to the heat in HK, all the plastics have sagged inside and out... i would say the car is virtual write off. Its done 0 miles too...

Makes you wonder how many special cars are like that all over the world. It will be one person's lucky barn find one day i guess.
 
This has turned into a 'ive seen better' thread now lol

Also seen a Noble M12 too the other day too lol

400 Enzo's were made according to Wikipedia so common as muck :P

Atkinson crashed his F1 in 1999. Don't know if it was repaired although I presume it was
