Maybe you have personal experience, but some of my happiest moments are Walkinshaw related, so I'll go with the original view that he was a legend...

That's a great attitude...you know Hitler liked dogs, too?

That didn't take you long did it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

Remind me how many Jews Tom Walkinshaw gassed again?

Around 1994/1995 I was lucky enough to be part of a track day at Silverstone when 5 of these beauties were rolled out - I was only 10/11 at the time and remember being driven round the track by Ian Flux I believe and hitting 190mph, best day of my life. Got a signed picture from flux, also got about 130 pictures from the day in a draw....
I remember having lots of arguments as a kid about the F1 vs the XJR15 LM - but obviously no one new about the LM sadly lol.
I heard they cost £1M each and were in a warehouse somewhere......My favourite car of all time, XJR15 LM.

you do know Hitler didn't actually gas any Jews himself, don't you?

st analogy or not, the point stands. You're happy to ignore someone's flaws because of some things about them you think are 'good'. How does your quoting a fat yank make you a better person here?

Any chance you could scan a few of the pictures, I'd be massively greatful?

Tried everything I can to find out more about both the normal car and the LM, looks like most if not all of the LM's are in Japan. I wonder if they only made 5 in the end or more but 3 of them are over there I think.

Definitely the blue one pictured.

A white one pictured in a showroom next to a CLK-GTR



And a BRG/dark green one spotted here




I seem to remember a black one but can't find pictures of it at the minute, or remember if it was in Japan or not). One or more supposedly normal cars have been spotted with LM additions to the bodywork as well.

At GBP 275K, it is a bit of a bargain compared to current F40 & EB 110 prices.
