Would be nice to figure out where these cars are. I think eventually they'll become attractive propositions and they'll be appreciated in a series like Group C is, although maybe not to the same extent.

Obviously we know about the locations of F1 GTR's for example but what about all the 911 GT1's or F40 LM's.

The owner of one of the Lotus Esprit GT1's is on here but what about the other chassis or the Elise GT1's? (started a thread for Elise GT1's in the Elise section).

There were plenty of 911 GT2's made, and a member on here runs two of them, any others?

How about the XJ220C's from Le Mans in 1993. Jaguar has one and another is in Japan (recently spotted in that video with the 962 on Youtube). What about the third car?

Harriers, Ascari's and all the other unusual/small manufacturer GT cars that cropped up, where are they?

Would be nice if people knew where all these cars were, so many different racers in the different GT series back in the day, or if anyone has any stories about running them/seeing them race perhaps?

Was the XJ220 fire the Martini car? Or was there another one?

Interesting subject, you have mentioned some of the cars that raced in BPR global endurance and British GT, others i can remember were:

Detomaso Pantera (ADA sponsored)
A pair of Lotus Esprit sport 300's (Factory i believe)painted in a kind of camouflage scheme
Morgan +8 GTR (Factory & driven by Charles Morgan)
Swansea Institute Tema Dartian GT90? (all white i think)
Venturi - various models
Lister Storm (particularly remember the earlier "stealth" bodied version)
Porsche 935 (Not sure if this was a genuine original 935)
Escort Cosworth
Some great cars there. You'd assume they're locked up in a warehouse or private garage somewhere in the UK (or abroad perhaps) but god knows how you'd go about finding them, same for the rest of the cars around that time.

Just figured when starting this thread there might be people with contacts that know/own said cars.
