Wow, didnt think there were any here

From what I have heard there are 2 in NZ. A silver one with the 'Downforce kit' in Silver/grey and thats in Porirua but it must have made a roadtrip up to Auckland because its plate is 'MCL F1'. Owned by one of the Whittakers (as in Peanut Slab whittakers) family members, chassis number #18. It had the 'Downforce kit' added in 2000 while it was in Germany, delivered to Japan and also spent some time in Sweden, Germany and Singapore before coming here. The other one I have no info on apart from it being purple.

17th car built, Magnesium Silver. Beige Interior, Recently imported into New Zealand, ex Automobil Manufacture, Singapore. Has the "High Downforce" Package"

The front and rear wings and the front wheel arches are much like those on the LMs or the 1995/1996 GTRs. The vents in the nose piece over the front wheels mimics the 1997 GTRs. The engines in this car and its near-twin, #073, have been upgraded to LM-spec, but the gearboxes remain standard F1 bits so the excessive gear whine would not be present.

Confusion arises because the personalised plate was originally on the Whittaker F1 as well.

Chassis #049 - the Whittaker F1.

First registered as new in 1996

Silver in colour, still standard, wheels, aero etc

Only pic of it I've ever seen http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/samzb...cLarenF1049.jpg

And it was loud!!
