Andy74b over on Pistonheads has shown his recently restored GTR for the first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed today, it looks wonderful:

Thanks for the photos.
In the video it looked like the tires were low on pressure. I assume they keep it in good condition though. (aesthetically atleast)

Well cars generally don't like to sit - even if kept in climate controlled storage which that warehouse didn't appear to be. Rubber items tend to dry out and need replacement after 7-10 years. If they were maintaining it to McLaren's standards for all that time then it is probably fine, but if it was just sitting there...

Erik is correct...a friend just bought a pristine 959 that had been sitting for more than 20 years in storage with the intent of actually driving it. But that was last winter and it's STILL in service getting everything replaced, fixed, etc..

Nice comparo of the high downforce kit and standard. I prefer the Standard one, unless its a GTR with Livery like the LARK one posted by streetrod454

I remember some older pics of the SA car on the right. It was a pic with a young guy behind a stone wall. Great pair!

It's my understanding these cars live about 800 miles apart in SA so seeing them together in one place likely doesn't happen often at all.
