How many McLaren F1's are in N.E.?

I know (of) those cars, both are owned by the same lucky gentleman, the orange one was a F1 LM!

Lucky, lucky man.. Any pictures?

 

That lucky man, Mr. Selldorff as I remember owns two F1's and the actual 0-100-0 Mph Record Orange McLaren F1 LM. He is a true enthusiast.

 

I believe Herb Chambers (Chambers Motor Cars franchise) and Will Turner (Turner Motorsports) each have one.

I've seen a dark charcoal F1 with a light tan interior and turner motorsports stickers at NHIS. I was told that it was Herb Chambers' car and it was maintained by Turner Motorsports. But that's all hearsay.

Nice car, though. A bunch of guys from my car club were standing around the entrance to NHIS waiting to get in when that car came buzzing in, downshifting to get off the road and into the parking lot. Man, conversation ceased and we all looked like those videos of cats following a tennis ball- heads moving in unison as it went by...

Herb Chambers owns one F1 and Frank Seldorf(sp) owns 3 I beleive (one of each model;F1, LM, GTR). Seldorf is good friends with Turner who stores and takes care of the minor issues with the cars. Frank is a very nice man and oen that drives his cars! I am not sure if any more are in the area, but to my knowldge these are the only ones at the moment.

 

that was the Turner Motorsport guys, they were on their way to a British car show. Congrats btw, you've seen a mclaren LM, very rare

 

Whoever told you the black one is Herb's is wrong. Its owned by Frank Selldorff

Frank has 2 road cars (chassis #007 and 068) and an LM (LM003)

 

No, that was XPLM, McLaren have that car, its the prototype (production spec)

 

There's an article about this record breaking car on the last page of the recent issue of CAR, which our English friend has most definitely seen since it takes a few weeks to reach stateside. Can't remember who has it now, am sure it isnt the factory, and the magazine is in my truck. Like the movie the Fugitive, "you find that man," on the last page of this magazine. I am pretty sure the name already mentioned out in NE has this car...

By the way, as it was featured manytimes in Autoweek, has the last McLaren F1 that was up for auction just this spring been sold? Silver F1, under 300 miles, which sat in the lobby. The articles said they were pitching the car to current owners for $1.5 mil I believe. Never saw that it was sold or not.

Maybe the XPLM did the 240 run at Nardo, but it was the Orange LM belonging to Mr. Selldorff that did the 0-100-0 Record breaking run with Andy Wallace at the Wheel.

I have the Original Car Magazine and the new one with the Enzo, Carrera GT, and SLR on the cover that wrote it up on the last page.

 

I stand corrected. You can't believe ANYTHING you hear at the racetrack...

I stopped in to visit and was impressed with their cordial hospitality and willingness to show me [a younger non-owner] the shop and let me walk around.

Wow, I didn't know that there were any F-1's around. Hopefully I'll get to see one at an event in the next few years.

 

Well, it was a road car that did 240 (xp5, but it is and was production spec, the only thing changed was the gearing and the underbody was polished).


Go look back at that article and look at the pictures. Then look at this: http://anything-auto.net/CARS/McLaren/1995_F1_LM/95f1lm_06.jpg (image credit: karc). Look at the rear wheels. There is a little decal there that says "XP1LM". XPLM meaning Experimental LM or Prototype LM. McLaren retain posession of this car.


The "new" silver car for sale for 1.8 mil (IIRC) was the car that sat in the McLaren park lane showroom. It is chassis #065.


Franks car is the one that did the Gumball Rally in the UK a few years ago (Previous owner used it).

 

There's a local who got a ride in the LM. Write up and pics
