That's strange cause that looks like the show car and not the car he actually raced.

Maybe one for @-Fred- to buy one day. Imported RHD Championship White ITR with 90k on the odometer.

That's a nice one, but not for 30k

Speaking of which:

It's not quite as clean, but the background cars in the pictures really caught my eye.

^ Um, those side mirrors looks fishy and not OEM...

That's because they aren't...

 

[Niku Driver HC]

It's a real alphabet soup of a JDM car, but you can't argue it's one tasty-sounding soup...

1995 McLaren F1-www.bonhams.com/auctions/23977/lot/73/
Chassis # 044
The 1st McLaren F1 imported to the U.S.
The 1st of only 7 fully federalized, U.S. road legal McLaren F1

These are the parts add by Ameritech to make it legal in the US.

 

[-Fred-]

I might still have the Road & Track issue with that car on the cover somewhere at my parent's place...

Argh! I hated the front bumpers. Reminded me of putting sneakers on front bumpers, back in the 70s.

 

[McLaren]

I'm betting $10,000,000 is easily within' reach for the seller. It's got enough accolades to push it there.

 

[GDII]

That's one odd looking car with the bumper extensions in place. Similar to the Lamborghini Countach.
And the front lights, odd they needed to change them.

Can anyone shed light on aluminium panels and rear brace? Why were these needed for the US market? And tyres is an interesting thing to have changed too.

 

[-Fred-]

The rear brace might be some sort of extra bumper support.

 

[RocZX]

They are the storage bins put in place of the passenger seats, the seats needed to be removed.
The only pic I can find of the Ameritech F1 interior.

 

[GDII]

Thanks @RocZX. I knew America was good at either not letting cars into the country or modding them to comply but I never knew they managed to ruin the best super car ever. Well this is my idol car so to me it's painful to see.

 

[-Fred-]

Ruin it they did. Although I believe that car got sent back to Woking to undo everything ASAP, because aside from those pictures I don't think I've ever seen it with the 5mph bumpers and the storage bins. It even had a "Jesus Fish" on the back!

(Also quite funny is the excerpt about the Hennessey Viper catching fire and a second one breaking the engine, as if it was a sign of things to come)

 

[McLaren]

That's not the same car; that's chassis #042 that was repainted to Rosso Corsa to match the owner's Enzo. The car resided in Midland, Tx until around 2006 to California.

The car for sale was originally a Massachusetts car. I can't verify if it is indeed the 1st of the 7 Ameritech cars though, considering #042 above was also an Ameritech car.

I believe this is the one owned by Herb Chambers. Owns a large dealership franchise and always hosts Cars & Coffee events in Massachusetts. Of course, the very last C&C that happened was the last time he'd show it before putting it up for sale. Missed out on it.

A Carrera RS Clubsport for sale. While it is a rare car it's surprisingly not super rare to see them for sale. What is surprising, though, is one for sale in the United States. Never being sold here it has to be 25 years or older to drive here, unless of course it's "show and display" import, which this one is. It's the second RS I've seen for sale here, but first Clubsport version, both imported from Canada (which is much better with their import laws pertaining to cars). Estimated at about half a million dollars, some lucky jerk is going to buy this and put it in a garage. Probably.

Also, a 993 GT2 for sale, also in the U.S. Super rare to begin with, even rarer here in the States. Unless there is another white one here then I think I saw this one not long ago at Lime Rock Park. Neat! Edit: Nope this ones different then the one I saw, since it has clear turn signals. Also neat!

A few from mecum Monterey for this year

I'm also planning to go to the auction that has the McLaren F1 too.

 

[McLaren]

August 18th gonna be a busy day; I believe RM & Bonhams are expected to start with Mecum that day, all in California.

Side note: that F1 is expected to need a minimum of $15m to hit its reserve.

Stumbled upon this odd-ball. A company has turned a Jaguar XKR into the XK180 Concept.

https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/jaguar/xkr/1999/462896
Price comes in at a stunning 400,000 Euros.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I have a model car of that Jaguar. But I don't have 400,000 to buy it.

Not a car in particular, but figured it'd be an interesting event to share, esp for anyone who likes Ferrari.

Main attractions so far seem to be a 333SP & a '55 750 Monza.
