Just to let you know, a GTO Evoluzione won the GT and racecar class at this year's "Salon Prive" at The Hurlingham Club, London. It was up against stiff competition from the Harrods McLaren F1 and a Porsche GT1, amongst others. I wish I had photos, but I was too busy polishing!
Congrats to the owner . I have a request to the owner if you could pass it on to him. I would love to see a pic of the GTO Evo with the pop up lights up ? ( if they are indeed pop up lights ? ) Many thanks in advance !
The lights do indeed pop up, but it is a manual operation rather than a stalk-activated electric operation!! I shall try to arrange that photo for you!
I hope that these will do............. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Finally ! Thank you very much ! One question , is it street legal ? Thanks for sharing these informations. I have loved the Evo since i read the article in the French Sport Auto in 1987 ..
002 is, but I guess it's because it used a 308(21343) as a base and therefor it was road legal. For the other 2 I don't think they would be road legal, because they were build directly as they are today. Jurgen Congrats, it sure is a stunner! Best Jurgen
It is manual but you can pop them up from the cockpit right ? You dont have to stop the car , walk out and pop them up ?? Or do you ?
You have to stop, get out, open the whole front end, then unscrew a nob, push the lights up, and tighten the nob again!
I think you'll find a lot more pics dotted all over F-chat!! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I hope you didn't mind me and Al posting those pics originally; It just happened to be at Carrs of Exeter on the same day the (now your) Mclaren F1 with the red door stripe was there, where Al and I we both went there on a 5 1/2 hour round trip to take some pics a week after it arrived in the UK. It rates as the best day (relating to Car Photography) I've ever had, just pipping the (many) shots I took of the Harrods F1 at Goodwood this year. You are a privilged man to have such a great stable at your disposal.
Just uploaded some shots. Should have done this sooner: http://www.*************/gallery/119513/1463/1.html
