The talent is questionable, but thanks. A real photographer could have made all these shots look better.

The luck I can't argue against. ;-)

Sure thing. :)

Here's another one I have just added to my Flickr account early this morning.

I wish that everyone who appreciates these great cars could get that chance. They are truly wonderful and deserving of all the praise they receive and getting to examine one up close is a real treat! Good luck!

1600 x 1060 is the largest version I have uploaded - you can find it here in my Flickr account:

The two previous answers you've gotten are from people who clearly have not been paying attention to F1 prices. Just last month Gooding & Co sold a standard F1 at their auction in Monterey for $8.47M including the Buyer's Premium. There are other cars which in the past 6 months have sold privately for more than that…

Yes, F1 values seem to be increasing by the minute. It has been pretty amazing to watch it all unfold over the past dozen or so years. There are still plenty of owners who bought these cars at the original price or sometimes less even as values dropped off early on as happens with most cars. Prices really started to…

You might be mixing stories a bit - the exterior paint color on chassis 011 (not present in Italy) was reportedly painted to match a previous owner's watch. The color is a silver metallic base coat with several layers of metallic blue on top. I've not been fortunate to see this one myself, but from photos and what I…

When McLaren unveiled the F1 to the world in Monaco back in 1992 the styling model they used for the event was painted silver so it kind of became the default color for the McLaren F1. A large percentage of the cars are some variation of silver - most of them from new. There are even a few cars which were painted in…

Yes, that is GTR 05R wearing the Art Car livery created by famous French sculptor, Cesar Baldaccini. Around the time of the Anamera ad you recall it went to auction via Artcurial at their Le Mans Classic event in 2010. There it failed to meet the reserve at 1.8M Euros but a deal was eventually struck after the auction…

I have spent my entire life (well the past dozen years at least) trying to see every single one of them and so far have managed a total of 33. To say that I have been EXTREMELY fortunate is an understatement. These cars are my greatest passion though and I've had some really special moments along the way in this…

Thanks for the kind words. I will ask Mate to correct the attribution. He's a friend in the cyberspace world but knows me better by my real name.

There were a total of 19 F1s that attended this Owner's Club 20th Anniversary event - four cars that participated didn't make it into my photo and one extra F1 that was due to attend pulled out near the last minute.

I'd have to disagree strongly with your summary - these cars came from all over the world, some from…

A conservative estimate is probably in the range of $125M USD for 15 McLaren F1s at today's values. There would be fluctuations depending on the history of each car as well - several worth more than the average.

Keep in mind that many of these owners would have no interest in selling the car as they already have…

Yes, that is GTR 10R, part of Nick Mason's very impressive collection since 2000.

If it was wearing the Gulf livery then it was an F1 GTR, not an LM. The F1 LMs are special edition road cars, not racing cars. There are a total of 6 that were built including the prototype - four are painted in McLaren's traditional orange and two that went to the Brunei Royal Family were sprayed in Black/Silver with…

The similar looking orange one at the factory is the F1 LM prototype - chassis "XP1 LM"

The car you've highlighted in this photo is GTR 07R - one of 5 F1 GTRs that have been resprayed in McLaren's traditional orange paint.

They built a total of 106 McLaren F1s of all variations so the math works when you factor against that.

There were 19 that attended the 20th Anniversary Tour held in Northern Italy that spanned four days in May 2012. At the time I took this shot on Day 1 of the event two cars were out of frame and two others were…

A slightly better photo of that one for you.

I took the picture so I'm happy to help. There are 11 F1 road cars and 4 F1 GTRs in this photo. Each of these GTRs has been converted for road use. Starting in the back row, the Red w/Yellow graphics is GTR 10R which was the 1996-spec prototype. Next to that in Yellow/Green is GTR 06R which is best known for its 3rd…

Although most of the cars in this picture are not coming up for sale any time soon the value of all 15 of these F1s would tally up more than $125M USD presently - or about 4x the figure achieved by Bonhams for the W196 earlier this year.

In Monterey back in August Gooding & Co sold a 1997 McLaren F1 road that was in…
