I am not aware of it being booked for anything else after this and I have already arranged for it to go back into hibernation late next week.
Thanks,

Thats good enough for me! dont worry I wont hold it against you should it not be there, (I can always console myself with some fine Belgian beers if for any reason it is not there) but im all booked up! many thanks for sorting this out, very much looking forward to it!!

Re: Mclaren Special Operations - MSO

Damned, I allways live wrong country , XPGT would be fantastic to see!
Fantastic that McLaren will bring these cars on shows, that' superb.

I have one question to you Henry, if you don't mind, sorry if the Thread is wrong, but I have to ask this. Otherway I don't get peace to thinking of this.

I have been wondered this so many painfull times, would McLaren had changes to bring in Finland to some motorshow example #01R and XP1 LM? Would that be possible at all?
I know it's far away from UK and it's not free. But JJ Lehto really did history with #01R and we have had here in Finland actually #16R in December 1996 and that FIA GT1 race in Helsinki 1997 so we have GTR History here defenitely.
Just wondering, would this kind of thing be possible at all in the future?

Thanks for the answer and I want to welcome you in to this fantastic Forum. Really appreciate it that you write here!
I really don't know any else car Forums in the Net which has so fantastic people.

Re: Mclaren Special Operations - MSO

Hi,

first, many thanks to display publicly 56XPGT especially since the car is encircled in storage

I am off thursday and sunday, it will be difficult but I will try.

Thanks Henry to announce that on the forum. Can you confirm XPLM was planned to attend Windsor Concours but was replaced by the "GREAT" 12C GT3 instead ?

Phil

Thrilling news even though I won't be there to see it.

Thanks for all the efforts Henry, and pass them along to anyone else involved in its preparation.
