Quoted: I have seen a McLaren F1 on the road before. I've seen plenty of Ferraris (360, 550, Testarossa, F40, F50, Enzo), Lamborghinis (Aventador, Diablo, Countach, Gallardo), Jaguars (XJ220....damn cool car), Porsches (959, Carrera GT)..... But I've never seen a McLaren F1. And I'd love to see one up close and personal. |

Quote HistoryYep. Lamborghini started out as a tractor manufacturer. As for the Ferrari in the original post, no thats a kit car. Its a 67 Ferrari 330 P4 replica. Original ones like that are in the MILLIONS and I doubt their owners take them on the road. Last one I heard that sold went for $10M. Some of these kit cars are so damn close to the original that you could use parts from them on the originals. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have seen a McLaren F1 on the road before. Wish I could remember which thread...a member on here posted a picture of his car, with another car on a garage lift above it wearing a cover. He said, "anybody recognize the top car?" Several people got it immediately, a McLaren, but I don't remember the model. He followed that up with, "it's my wife's."

I was passed, very rapidly, by a F-40 in Germany between Bitburg and Spangdahlem back in the day. Caught back up to him when he got behind a farmers tractor.
It was glorious watching flames coming out the exhaust when he downshifted to pass when a straight stretch of road appeared and it was gone as fast as a 1 liter jap bike. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Looks like a Race Car Replica build. I don’t think they make that one anymore. Norwood P4. Only around one million. Here's a time lapse of one being built.  Time Lapse of P4-575 by P4 Norwood Driving one with real V-12 goodness.  1967 Ferrari 330 P3/4 Norwood drive on the street with exhaust sound, loud! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are you serious? Because some idiot looking at their phone instead of the road will destroy your multi million dollar Ferrari investment car. I saw a Lotus in Chicago a few years ago. Been to places like Miami and Cali for vacations and the cruise ship ports etc. Haven't seen something like that every time but....some people with lots of money buy crazy cars to drive them once in a while. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have seen a McLaren F1 on the road before. I saw someone who lives near Beacon, NY exercising their Ferrari collection on occasion when I was trucking. Summer Friday afternoons with good weather, crossing the I-84 bridge over the Hudson River I saw an Enzo, an F-1 and a Testa Rosa, each time with the same guy driving. Must be nice to have cubic money. |

There is only 1 mechanic in the US that is "Certified" by McLaren to work on the F1. There is a pretty good YT series with the guy. I would be scared to be in the same room as one with my propensity to drop tools.  THE ONLY MCLAREN F1 TECH IN THE UNITED STATES! |

If this was real it would not simply be an ultra rare high dollar car. No insurance company will write a policy for daily use of something like that: it’s a $10 million liability that could be destroyed simply by someone not seeing it while backing up in a parking lot. There is a huge difference between a $200000 ultra rare high dollar car and what this would be if real. The person would have to self insure after liability. Think how much they would have to pay out if the owner did something like hit a deer. |

CSB time.
In 1989 my BIL owned a towing company and I worked for him. We had the contract for high end dealer in town because we had fancy roll back trucks. Memorial Day weekend I transported one of these from San Antonio to Portland, OR.  Attached File1989 Testarossa Brought one of these back as trade in.  Attached File1974 Dino It was a pretty epic road trip. |

A replica like that is like a set of bolt-on tits. It's real if you can see it, touch it, and feel it, and it looks good. But it's not as good as the real thing.

It would be interesting to know the insurance situation. Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) famously wrecked his F1 multiple times. The second time he hit a tree and it was rebuilt and sold for $15 million in 2015. |

Yeah there are several insurance companies that will insure these things for "normal" use being est at <1000 miles year. AIG and Chubb and Payne being two of the better ones. |

The problem with the 330-P4 is that there were only 4 ever made and only 1 retains its original body. That car is here in Canada owned by Lawrence Stroll. Stroll owns one of probably every significant Ferrari ever built. He also owns a McLaren F1. He also owns a race track to drive them on and is the president of Aston Martin. |
