Thanks for clearing that up, didn't realise the park lane car went to Singapore before Texas. Do you know what the chassis is on the other NZ car? Believe it too is grey, maybe silver.

 

This thread delivers!

 

The Park Lane showroom car was in SG from mid-2004 until mid-2008. Interestingly the asking price McLaren had for the car after removing it from the London showroom was £1 Million - quite a high price for an F1 at that time. When it sold at the RM auction in October 2008 the final price was £2.5M. Not a bad return on their investment after four years, wouldn't you say?

We recently learned the other NZ F1 is #049 and the first confirmed image of the car I've ever seen also surfaced. Plate was obscurred for privacy reasons, but you are correct in what it says in the unedited image.

EVO Magazine's July 2010 issue devotes nearly 50 pages to coverage of McLarens in several fantastic feature articles. Here's a set of preview scans of each page courtesy of microsup.

^ When will this be for sale in bookstores? July? I don't want to miss it.

 

UK readers are just receiving their subscription copies in the mail now. The issue will be on newstands in the UK/Europe in about a week, if not already there. For those of us in the USA we are probably looking at another couple of weeks - perhaps the 1st week of June? Best to keep checking your local bookstores, and maybe ask someone if they keep a list of what's incoming.

I looked yesterday and didn't see it. I'll check again next weekend I guess.
