McLaren F1 spotted

Wonder if it was the Silver McLaren Armen owned. It is pictured currently in the Southern California section.

Interesting.... I did sell mine in CA. I hope it was. That means he's driving and enjoying it.

 

What was the sale price? I'm just wondering because I was at Shelton Ferrari, in Florida...and they had a silver Mclaren F1. It wasn't for sale though. I guess it was just a "display model"....

 

jeez

is there any car you cant afford?

 

Well, the love for the Mclaren F1 here makes it tough to push to off-topic; its probably a better fit for Supercars though.

 

crass question..

 

its chassis #37. Owned by a Mr. Manelis i believe. He is located in Scottsdale

 

btw, its not the Newport Autosport car.

 

It's a friend of mine and he was coming to my house for lunch. I'll post a pic as soon a I download them.

 

here they are

 

Not yours Armen. Peter bought the car in Cologne Germany, took it to South Africa for a while and brought it to the US, originally to Newport Beach in 2002, then to Scottsdale in 2003.

It's a perfect example and he has maintained it meticulouly, but driven hard as well.

 

I'm interested in knowing where mine is these days. I'll get more info on the car and maybe someone will know.

 

What kind of question is that?

 

Peter Manelis's car isn't it? One of the two F1's in AZ. I've talked to him about seeing the car once...heh.

 

Having seen the original question asked, and then this reply, I have to admit I was curious and clicked to view your profile. Great collection you have there! I just have to ask, does your garage go under the house as it doesn't seem nearly big enough to house your beauties? Was the Enzo the deciding factor in selling the McLaren(you had a chance to approach that realm of performance and you obviously have Rosso Corsa pumping through your veins)?

Do you remember the chassis #? I can probably tell you.



Thanks a lot for the pictures Alex

 

Alex - Thanks for the pics. That car is absolutely stunning in silver - amazing..

 

That car is owned by Jim Clark, founder of Netscape. I have no idea why the car is there since Mr. Clark is based in CA and the car is not for sale. It was also seen at this years Cavallino Show. I hope its at shelton over the summer since i'll be down there. It makes appearences there every so often

 

cool - thnx for the pix Alex

 

Hey Armen, you own Newport Autosport right?

 

I belive the details of Armen's garage are classified

Let's focus on the McLaren and not jump down the poor guy's throught.

 

I spotted an Orange McLaren F1 up in Monterey about 2 years ago at the Mint Auction, "Christies" I think. It was driving up and down the street trying to find a parking spot, but I can't remember if I saw that silver one you saw in AR.....I saw one driving on the highway in California last year, and I think It was the MCLRNF1 California Liscence plate

 

The orange one would be Dan Kennedys, the other Scottsdale McLaren. The silver one would be Mr. Manelis' car

 

Mr. Gugasian,

I've dragged my girlfriend to your business countless times to view your beautiful cars. I think I went down to look at the McLaren F1 you had at least 5 times. You have a beautiful collection, thanks for allowing even those of us who can't afford them a chance to see them.

Sincerely,

Sean
