You are D MAN Erik!
thanks

I've heard there arent any british racing green F1's anymore??
Is that true??
real shame they look pretty nice (my 1:18 is B R green, Maisto):disappoin

To my knowledge, there was only one F1 that was painted British Racing Green - it was chassis #023 that went to a Japanese man originally. It later ended up in the UK in the hands of Liam Howlett who eventually had the car refitted with a partial High Downforce Kit and at that same time had the car repainted the silver color it remains today.

There are some other F1s that are green, though not truly British Racing Green. XP5 is one in Dark Metallic Green and the others are 56XPGT in Silverstone Green and chassis #051 also painted Dark Metallic Green. Chassis #073 was also originally green - the color was listed AMG Green Velvet (Pearl) - but it too has been repainted, now an orange color similar to chassis #038 and the original color of #075.

Hi diecastmaniac1994,

would you be so kind and post some pics of your "BRG" F1, please?

Something like this? (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MCLAREN-F1-1993-1-18-MODEL_W0QQitemZ370025589269QQihZ024QQcategoryZ9109 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Sorry Greg, but this is not "BRG"...

Erik, without trawling through the archives, what is a "partial" HDF kit, and, after he "slapped 'his' bitch up", who took ownership of Howlett's F1?

I call it a partial HDF Kit because it lacks the fender flares over the front wheels and the front splitter is therefore narrower compared to all the other F1s we have seen with the HDF Kit. It also still wears the standard road car wheels, whereas all others have some variation of the 5-spoke GTR style of OZ wheels, or multi-spoke in the case of #073.

This is the car that ended up in Paul Stewart's hands and was featured in the Martin Brundle's Supercars video. That should help you locate some pictures to compare against if not immediately familiar to you.

Thanks for both the clarification and insight, Erik. :)

Hi Erik, two things in my mind :
1) we have not pic of #073 in his original color ?
2) you think #073 and #075 have the same color ? It would be amazing to see both the cars together !

I think this is #073 in its original colour

and here are #075 and #073 (kind of) side by side

#073 is more like #038's colour than #075 (Kandy Orange v Kandy Orange Metallic v Yquem)

I think this is #073 in its original colour

I thought we had that as 051?

Thanks Guys!
These pictures have helped me convincing AutoBarn models to make Xp3 in the past and now four new colors for their future roadcar projects!
I am so glad!
MM

It is #051 - pic came from Auto Motor & Sport which had an association with one of the previous owners and used that car and others he owned for their own promotional displays.

I believe these are the only images we have of #073 in it's original AMG Green Velvet color. They are screenshots that LeMan shared with us taken from a video of it at the McLaren factory undergoing a refit to the interior.

Many thanks to all contributions :)

So, #073was refit how many times ? I don't remember if it was ordered with HDF kit ?
