Very awesome, very random spot on the way to work this morning....

About half a mile from my house, pretty working class / council area, I clock something red in the corner of my eye, double back to take a look, and it's a genuine F40 being loaded into a transporter, with an F355 above.

I think this is the first one I've actually seen in the metal, honestly couldn't believe it given the location, just seemed totally out of the ordinary.

Had to check both registrations to confirm they were genuine cars - the F355 came back as real, the F40 registration wouldn't provide any details, but I found some photos of the same car at Graypaul Ferrari in Birmingham a couple years ago..

A guy I worked for used to race in the UK Ferrari Challenge and had a 360 Challenge car at the time. I remember going with him to Brands one day where he was testing on a Ferrari owners track day.

It was really surreal going around Paddock Hill following F40s and 512BBs at full chat. It was like being in some motoring dream, yet brilliant to watch their legs being properly stretched. I think to me bar day the car I was in was the least interesting on track!

Mate just sent me this, looks like a prototype McLaren Senna LM

[Pericoloso]

LM graphic....check
Orange paint.....check
A small BHP increase......probably

That'll be an extra 500,000 pounds to you sir.

Did it have a front end crash?

looks more like the type of place where they make aftermarket bodykits. McLaren HQ is significantly more fancy (and I'd imagine secretive) than that.

What's that at the back though ? An F1 ?

Looks like one of their secret warehouses in Woking
And looks like a well used development senna

I have to say I find this a little distasteful.

The original LM F1 was due to the car winning at Le Mans. This looks like a badge special. And I hate fakery.

Somehow it looks less bad all in one colour.

Now that's a hell of a spot in the wild.

Sadly it's not used much but what an awesome car.

He uses that quite a bit doesn't he, snow tour last year and more?

If they want to put their money where their mouth marketing is, they could enter it for the new WEC / Le Mans 2021 hypercar regulations.

Gonna suggest that's #061 in the washbay judging off the colour. Ex-Rowan Atkinson.

Doesn't look fully black.

Rumours abound of Speedtail going to WEC









Never going to happen sadly

No, because they've been trading off past homologation glories for 20 years and don't want to risk undoing all that by being crap (as they have been in F1 for the last 5+ years).

It's a shame, as it would be REALLY cool to see Mclaren, Ferrari and Lamborghini alongside Aston Martin there (oh, and GM Design's T50 too) - I think we all know the track battle would be contrived by the BOP regs, but still...much better to see AM vs Lamborghini or Mclaren vs Ferrari than Toyota vs Peugeot...

i kind of think they've just reversed the RR up to the trailer for the photo and it doesn't actually have a towbar, but maybe i am just cynical.
