Until this vehicle surfaced, finding a 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Longtail was a near impossible task, as most are being safely stored in collections worldwide. Only 10 of the 28 McLaren F1 GTR race cars were are Longtails, and this fine specimen, chassis #19R, is being offered by Tom Hartley JNR in the U.K. Why are they called Longtails? It’s because of their stretched bodywork, most noticeably at the rear.
This particular vehicle was a development car, and the #19R F1 GTR Longtail was the first vehicle to have been converted to street-legal specifications by Lanzante and Gordon Murray Design. Should you want to return it to its factory state, all of the original parts will included in a package.
