Mclaren F1 Registry

I am trying to find out who owns all the Mclaren F1s.
Here's what I have sofar.

Sultan of brunai.........8 Mclaren F1s(thats not a typo)
Ralph Laren...............2 Mclaren F1s
Jay Leno..................1 Mclaren F1
Wycliff Jean..............1 Mclaren F1
liam Howlett..............1 Mclaren F1
Elton John.................1 Mclaren F1
Dan Kennedy.............1 Mclaren F1

Does anyone know anymore

browse the board, you'll find tons of info

I was planning on doing a new "Locations of McLaren's in America" list soon so that I can keep it updated. For the most part, we have a lot of the old mysteries ironed out. I still believe there are 2 or 3 cars here that are not officially accounted for or the owner's info isn't available yet. It's only a matter of time though until someone comes up with it. With the advent of the internet, hiding a McLaren F1 is becoming more and more difficult. ;)

Incidentally, 'Wyclef' and 'Brunei' are spelled wrong on your list.

Upes eye diddent ckek tha sspallin dat wll. LOL

I can't wait for that list to come out. I've been
doing some studing on the board and other places
for information and it seems that Dan Kennedy has
or is in the process of selling his beautiful F1.

Dan is selling is his and has been for several months. I think he might be looking to recoup too much of his investment in the car and that could be why no one has snatched it up. The same is true with nearly every customized car though - if it's done to one owner's specific tastes, it can be quite difficult to find someone else with similar tastes. You hardly ever get back any extra money your pour into a car when you modify it. Seeing as how the modifications to Dan's F1 aren't enhancing the performance in any way, I'm not sure there are too many people who would be interested in an F1 that would care to have them. I know I wouldn't need a Navigation unit in my F1 or an MP3 player. I'd rather have an unmolested example if I could get my hands on one.

One side note - the website for Dan's car appears to be gone :confused: - www.mclarenforsale.com (http://www.mclarenforsale.com) - isn't coming up for me right now. Maybe the host is just having problems, or maybe Dan is tired of paying for the bandwidth so that us supercar dreamers can stare at his car all day long. :lol2:

Peloton your right - the site is down!!! :eek: Whenever I go there, it says this:

This site requires JavaScript. If you are not redirected to a new page,
please enable JavaScript in your browser and refresh this page.

And redirects me to "Eufora, The Income Opportunity Credit Card". Kennedys F1 either sold or he's trying a different method of selling it.

or his server is down? just cause the site isn't there doesn't mean that he sold it or anything, don't jump to conclusions so quickly

Peloton25, When you buy a used Mclaren F1 it's not
the same as when you buy a used Handa Accord. When
you purchase a used Mclaren F1 it is sent back to the
factory for a complete overhaul and then it's refitted to
your own body and costumized the way you want it to
be. So essentualy you're getting a brand spankin new
car.

Yes and no. McLaren will do as much or as little as you want them to. Certainly you can have the interior retrimmed and the exterior repainted and have everything cleaned with a toothbrush as well as install the latest gizmos. And you can have a complete engine rebuild and replace the clutch. But you can also just get a light inspection done and drive away.

It's all up to how fussy the buyer is, and how much lighter they want their pockets to feel--after already spending a fair chunk on the purchase...

:iagree:

MclarenF1LM - Not every car goes back to the factory at the time of purchase. It is certainly an option, but it isn't always the case. The ones that do don't always receive a complete overhaul as you suggest. It's all dependant on what the new owner wants.

>8^)
ER

May I also add my concurrence to previous statements by TVR and Peloton. It does depend heavily on the wishes of the new owner or the previous depending on how the sale is orchestrated, as any necessary repairs or upgrades may the the negotiated responsibility of the seller. Many cars require the update of the fuel cells. Many cars are left without this maintenance for many years, if ever done at all. This service is most likely done by the factory, but it can be done by the certified Service Centers around the world. More often then not, the car is sent to the factory for the work. As has been said, that is not a standard or automatic thing upon new ownership. It must be commissioned and paid for by the new owner unless negotiated otherwise by the requirements of the deal between buyer and seller. McLaren most certainly will not grant the work free of charge. Quite the opposite.

I new that they wouldn't give it for free but my
point was that you needn't worry about getting some-
one elses unspirited custom Mclaren.


I have two more to add to the list. The first is Herb
Chambers, and the second is owned by the owner of turner motorsports(I don't know what his name is though).

liam Howlett..............1 Mclaren F1

Dan Kennedy.............1 Mclaren F1
Herb Chambers..........1 Mclaren F1
Owner of TM.............1 Mclaren F1(posably 2)

PS. does any one know if Gordon Marry owns an F1. Not that
I have any evidence to suggest it but, I thought that it was
a logical possability

Frank Selldorff doesn't own Turner Motorsports. He does own a black F1 road car that's here in the USA (#007), an LM which is also here(LM3), and apparently a third McLaren - a silver F1 road car (#068) which I have listed in a 'location unknown' status. That last car could be here awaiting certification, and it could also still be in England as some have speculated.

BTW: AFAIK Will Turner is the owner of Turner Motorsports. drewwtms can correct that statement if its not true.

>8^)
ER

whos liam Howlett? is that the guy from oasis? i also need proof he and elton own a car, i have no doubts that elton does (he has a nice collection) i would just like to see a pic to be certain. Anyone have any of either of these 2 cars?

Yeah - that is who Liam is. Other things that I have read state that he now lives in Chris Dawes old house. Kind of ironic I guess...

>8^)
ER

humm. Can u guarentee he owns a mac and the same with elton?

I'd say I'm 90% positive Liam is a McLaren F1 owner. I don't know about Elton though. That sounds more like speculation to me. Sure he's a collector of cars, but I'd never really seen any accurate info to suggest he's a McLaren F1 owner. It's the same with Bill Gates - I've seen a lot of reports of him owning one or multiple McLaren F1's when in reality I don't believe he's ever been an owner.

>8^)
ER

why do u think Liam has one?

This report is evidence enough for me - you'll have to cut&paste:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=4&q=http://members.madasafish.com/~smbu/pn/news/2000/april/16/&e=7421

There are others with similar info that can be found around the web. Also, he's not with Oasis, but Prodigy. I knew it was one of those.

>8^)
ER

I live in Britain and had no idea that Liam had one. He has the producing and song writing credits though so he probably can afford one. The confusion over Oasis and Prodigy is because he is married to one of the Appleton sisters, formely of All Saints (ever heard of them, over there?), the other appleton sister is married to Liam Gallagher, frontman of Oasis. I'll try and find out exactly which car he has or had.

I would be very surprised if Liam Gallagher had a McLaren. If he did it would have been in the tabloids in the UK. I believe Elton John had a XJ220 Jag. I haven't heard anything about him owning a McLaren F1. Nick Mason of Pink Floyd fame has a GTR along with lots of other great cars. Another rock star into cars in a big way is Jay Kay (Jamiroquai) who has an Enzo.

Elton sold his XJ220, it was auctioned off with some of his other cars, my mom showed me an article about in in hello/ok (one of those womens mags) a while ago

Re-reading my post i make it sound as though Liam Gallagher has an F1, which he dosn't. I meant that i'd check to find out which F1 Liam Howlett has. So far i haven't found anything apart froma few stories confirming that he has or has had an F1.

I bet XOTech is aware of some of the more 'celebrity' F1 owners. Now that he's back in action, hopefully he'll be willing to drop some names. I'd be interested in knowing if Eric Clapton is truly an F1 owner as I've heard that he purchased George Harrison's F1. In fact, I think gerd may have originally posted that info here. Not certain if it was fact or rumor at the time.

>8^)
ER

Seems Eric Clapton has got a habit of taking on Harrison's second hand goods :iceslolan

Wow, thanks for all the info guys, keep it coming. I will post
the updated version of the list later after I chack out all the
info for authenticity.

i'll give u my list in a bit, its loooong, altho i'm sure pelotons is bigger ;)

That would be great mini magic. Pretty soon no one
will have a hidden Mclaren, I hope.

I'm certain my list isn't any longer than yours. Whenever I dig up new info I share it here. So, if you've been taking good notes, then you're just as wise as me. :iceslolan

>8^)
ER

oh cool, thanks

Eric Clapton does indeed have Harrison's McLaren. That is quite certain.

Do you know if it's still that beautiful shade of Aubergine?

>8^)
ER

I'm still processing the data for the list. I'm adding a
few more columns for chassis number, color, location,
model and, status.

Just out of curiosity, I read that Christopher Dawes
crashed his F1, I found this picture and was wondering if
it is his crashed F1. I figured that it might be because
in his crash the car split in half and burst into flames; it
looks like all that stuff happend to this car.
http://www.wreckedexotics.com/mclaren/mclaren_040202_003.jpg

I don't see any evidence of fire in this pic...looks more like a rear end collision. The McLaren F1's muffler is designed to absorb impact and act as the rear "bumper" and it looks like it did the job admirably.

i don't think thats his car. That pic is in driving ambition. I'll try to find it and tell you what it says about it.

The picture above is not the aftermath of the Chris Dawes crash. That car was indeed burned. So badly, that it was not immediately recognizable aside from the profound damage to the car from hitting the tree. The engine was completely severed from the car and many hundreds of feet away from the bulk of the other parts.

The car in the above picture was undergoing either testing or a promotional session. The driver lost control and backed it into the wall at nearly 200mph. The car survived very well and was rebuilt. The occupants survived without injury. Not so in the Dawes crash. I am not certain of the chassis number of the above car. I do have further information about this very car, but it is not immediately available without going through my volumes of data. I will see what I can turn up.

Rowan Atkinson has one doesn't he??

yes, chassis #061

Hey guys sorry for the long time without any posts, I've been
real buissy lately and have also been setting up my new computer.
I'll get the updated list posted as soon as I network the new computer
with the old one.

i'm still getting mine together

Finaly, heres the updated list. You'll have to copy and
paste it into Notepad to get the colums allined proporly,
does anyone know how to correct this problem.

use code tags on it :)

I thought Nick Masons, Rowan Atkinsons and Liam Howletts F1s were all in the UK. And isn't DK's car 038?

RicH_24, thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the info, TcarR, I will look into it and if
it's true I will make the changes ASAP.

All of the above is most certainly true. Also, Nick Mason definitely owns the '96 F1 GTR #10R - no doubt about that.

>8^)
ER

and it's blood red solid

I'm I figured that it might be because
in his crash the car split in half


I got the impression from reading some reports that the car was split in half length ways but i think i guessed wrong.

I've been here before but I very much doubt Elton John has or had a Mclaren. Searching google turns up nothing. He did have a XJ220 that can be found on google. Chris Dawes car was in the UK. One of Frank's cars is also in the UK.

Yeah I would take Elton John off the list as well. The speculation that he has one, or even ever owned one, is quite similar to the stories I've read about Bill Gates owning two F1s. None of that has ever proven to be true.

>8^)
ER

that list is very incomplete

Heres an update to the list. I've taken Elton John off and
made other revisions. I have a couple of other people to add
to the list later after I get resonable proof that they own an f1.

Dont forget good old Laurence Strohl, Dean Wills and Larry Blair

-Mike :smokin:

jim clark - chassis #024, US
peter manelis - chassis #037, US
clifford meltzer - chassis #028, US

theres a start

thanks for the entries guys. I'll post the list with them
in it later; I'm currently reorganizing it in a more logical manner

didn't Rowan Atkinson crash his in the UK? not written off though but i think the traffic chopper filmed it.

this is as good as a place as any.....

i was talking to a friend in my class and he said that his grandfather is friends with a guy who lives in Ojai CA (just south of santa barbara). he said the guy owns 2 mclarens, amoung many other cars. he said that he made all his money photographing album covers.

the conversation moved on, so i didnt get a chance to ask the guys name (or call his bluff) but i thought id ask just to double check ....

so, 2 McLarens in Ojai California?

Maybe they are old CAN-AM cars, but I just don't see any way that they would be F1s. :screwy:

The 'Sultan of Brunei' has name and it's Haji Hassanal Bolkiah.

The 'Sultan of Brunei' has name and it's Haji Hassanal Bolkiah.
Not many people recognize him by that title and even less will probably remember it. The "Sultan of Brunei" demands immediate recognition since that is the name most people know him by.

Personally, I prefer my own short (and completely ironic, I swear) abbreviation of the more famous name "SOB." :iceslolan

The 'Sultan of Brunei' has name and it's Haji Hassanal Bolkiah.

Oh ya, "Haji Hassanal Bolkiah" is much easier to say than "Sultan of Brunei." :lol:

Since we're getting all specific anyway, we are not even technically talking about the Sultan himself. The automobile collection is more of an endeavor carried out by the Sultan's younger brother Prince Jefri and his eldest son Prince Haakem.
