I have been toying with this for a while now, and seeing as I have just increased my own Mclaren library with a new addition, I thought I may as well make a thread on it.

I currently have [just the one copy ;)] of Driving Ambition as my starting point for my interest in the F1

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RFTH0BKAL._SL500_AA240_.jpg

I have recently bought Michael Cotton's GTR [with #03R in West livery on the front] as I thought it was about time I got one after hearing about how good it was from Le Man and finally tracking one down and then being in a position to buy it.

Mclaren - The Cars 1967-2008 seemed a logical buy

Velocity, as I was directed to it from people on here

Mclaren F1 GTR LM Sportscar Performance Portfolio, as it has lots of early road tests and articles from various magazines on the F1, good price too! (:thumbsup: for the reminder webslinger283)

and Into the Red 2nd edition with #10R on the front. I already had the 1st edition, but that came without the F1. As soon a I heard he got the F1 and had added it to a new edition of his book, I just had to get it [If you've got it, you've just gotta love the sound DVD in the back]

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TCAYXA3PL._SL500_AA240_.jpg

My newest acquisition, not yet received by me but en route as of today from America, is this

http://i9.ebayimg.com/04/i/001/28/9c/41ed_1.JPG http://i11.ebayimg.com/01/i/001/28/9c/441a_1.JPG

Luckily I found it on Ebay and only paid $99.50 for it :runaround: . I was even more pleased when saw this (http://www.beverlyhillsmotorsport.com/catalog/art_books_and_video/sort_newest/prod_bpr-gt-endurance-1996-book/var_9782930120119). IIRC Le Man [there seems to be a trend going on here; If I go Bankrupt blame him :p ] suggested it as one of the books to get, and seeing as it was so cheap I thought it prudent to do so.

After reading back a few years and doing a search on here, I found this post from Archangel from way back in August 2004


McLaren GTR by Michael Cotton
1995 GT Endurance
1996 GT Endurance
1997 GT Endurance

1995 Le Mans 24 Hours
1996 Le Mans 24 Hours
1997 Le Mans 24 Hours
1998 Le Mans 24 Hours

These all have great shots of the McLaren GTR's in various warpaint.
With the 1st book being specifically on the 95-96 McLaren GTRs - plenty of great photos along with information regarding the GTRs. Good luck finding these. I believe all are out of print. I was able to find 1 other 1997 GT Endurance GT at an online bookstore in Florida. There's a site in England that claims to sell some of the Endurance books but they have never processed my order. (Going on a year now.) Some pop up on ebay, but I think you'll be trying to outbid Peloton or myself on a few of these.

I have all except the 95 GT Endurance. Peloton was kind enough to show the cover picture in another thread.

So, which books of the Mclaren F1 are in your collection?

Its one of my goals to write a book on the F1. Sort of like "Where are they now?" kind of thing. IMO there is a lot of stuff DA doesn't cover and now, 10+ years on, i think it would be interesting to look at how certain cars have changed and go over things like street legal GTR's. Of course, it would be hard to not be too specific (i think things like chassis #'s would need to be left out unless they are clearly known) and i'm pretty sure Mclaren wouldn't like it too much so there would be copyright to deal with. But i'm sure with everyone's help here and with the help of some owners (i'm pretty sure we could get at least a few to help us), it could be done.


One day.....

Oh yea. 2 copies of DA, Into the Red and a few others that have features on the McLaren (2 copies of the Ralph Lauren collection, Velocity etc)

No BPR or Cotton books for me yet :frown:

I'd like to get 1995

http://www.icfah.org/imbran-aml/18820-1995.jpg

and 1997 copies of GT Endurance

http://www.icfah.org/imbran-aml/18820-1997.jpg
for me next

...and 1997 copies of GT Endurance

Greg - I am fairly certain I ended up with an extra copy of that one. Let's do a deal when you are ready to buy. I'll give you a fair price for it. :)

I still need Michael Cotton's GTR book - can't believe I still don't have a copy of that one myself.

I may take you up on that at a later date :thumbsup:

Yeah - I was struggling to get a copy of the 1996 book, and then there was an auction that offered the 1996 and 1997 versions together for a decent "Buy it Now" price, so even though I had the 1997 book I went for it. I'll save it for you - just let me know whenever.

The other books to add would be the 24Hrs of LeMans books for each year. I am fairly certain my library includes the 1995-1997 and perhaps 1998 too. I'll have to look later.

Another book everyone should have, and it can usually be found rather cheap, is the "AutoCar - F1 - McLaren Road Car" soft-cover book that came as an insert with AutoCar magazine one month in 1994. It's like a "Driving Ambition" preview.

McLaren F1 GTR LM Sportscars Performance Portfolio (Paperback) found here at amazon: http://www.amazon.com/McLaren-GTR-Sportscars-Performance-Portfolio/dp/1855206552/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231803563&sr=8-1 it is basically a bunch of the early magazine article condensed down into one easy to find source...most of the pics have been changed to black and white but still you can't beat it for the price!!

Here's photos of the covers of the LeMans annuals from the years that McLarens were competing - I think I have them all, but will need to check.

Also, does anyone have a copy of this? I've seen it come through Ebay a couple of times, but have never been the winner. I think it is a lot like the McLaren F1 GTR LM Sportscars Performance Portfolio that webslinger just suggested based on the descriptions I have seen. It could even be the same content with just a different cover. :dunno:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20G/7a_1.jpg

There's also this one too which I think is similar, but perhaps not the same, as well:

Nice list, Greg.

Driving Ambition is on my wish list and has been for a long LONG time. I know that is/was the same for many of you, so I'm not ashamed of not having bought it yet :icon16:

I've always been wondering, whenever a thread came up about what eBay was offering at a particular time, whether buying through Amazon and/or McLaren themselves was not easier.

Just checked Amazon and lowest price is 200+ USD. :rolleyes:
Then I checked McLaren's e-Shop, and it costs 60 GBP/80 USD, so I don't really understand where the Amazon stores get their prices from??? :)

With the downfall of both the $ and the £, I better buy it now! :-)

Good to see you again bucciali! :cool:

The McLarenShop price is the best I have seen in about a year. I'd agree, if it is in the budget you should jump on it now. The only way it could get cheaper again is if Virgin Books actually published another reprint and I don't believe they will.

I've got that somewhere I'm sure that I bought off Ebay years back... scratchy old magazine reprints in black and white? Am I right?

As for Driving Ambition ... it's basically the F1 bible - albeit not too precise and definitive ... but if it was, the F1 forum here would be a rather silent place. I have a first edition copy of DA (bought in 1999?) and took the chassis numbers side of the poster and had it professionally framed.

I've got that somewhere I'm sure that I bought off Ebay years back... scratchy old magazine reprints in black and white? Am I right?

Correct indeed. Nice if you don't want to take the time to track down all the original publications, but the black and white printing kind of ruins it.

Just got this on a buy it now off ebay to add to the collection - was it this one?

http://i2.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/17/c3/5e58_1.JPG

I thought you snagged a copy of that one long ago? Anyway, yes that is the AutoCar book you want. There's also a hardcover version of it, but I have not seen one of those offered since forever ago.

>8^)
ER

http://i2.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/17/c3/5e58_1.JPG

I've had that since Day One. Didn't realise there was a hard back version though. Not that I'll go chasing it! It was, at the time, the real eye opener to all the superlatives that the F1 would serve up though!

Here's images of the hardbound version from Ebay. Not sure if it was something McLaren had put together, or if AutoCar sold them at some point.

I think I've only ever seen two of them come through Ebay, so there can not be that many of them out there. I don't have one, but I don't really need one. I am pretty certain I have two copies of the softcover version. One with the issue of AutoCar magazine it came with in the plastic jacket, and one by itself.

Having received it last night, I don't remember having it before. Nice read though :thumbsup:

Cool then - definitely worth the small price you usually have to pay for it. Of course it stops telling the story right around the point when production began, and there's so much more to talk about. Still - very well put together.

DA book currently on ebay under £90

Well, It arrived today, and I am so pleased with it I am trying to buy the others!
http://i9.ebayimg.com/04/i/001/28/9c/41ed_1.JPG

Well unless I have misplaced them, it would seem that I only have the 1995 LeMans annual, so I guess I have some shopping to do. Rats!

There's also a copy of the Michael Cotton "GTR" book on Ebay right now that I would really like to own. :naughty:

I have heard about the Gulf book, and didn't know how much F1-related content would be in there; I may have to have a look now you have said there is around 25 pages worth :thumbsup:. I've just ordered it off Amazon too :)

I don't think I have heard of the other one - GT international. I'll keep my eyes peeled for it :)

Nice library of Mclaren books you have there then! :worshippy

I have the "GT-International" book already. I will throw up a shot of the cover later on.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20G/4667.jpg

I still need "Blue & Orange" as well. I missed getting a copy that had been signed by some noteworthy drivers, and Michael Cotton, on Ebay once and then never went looking for another.

This came in the post tonight from Amazon - it's pretty good! :)

Would you say this book is in the top 3 of books to get? I am tempted, but it's going for a lot of money.....Is it nearly as good as Michael Cottons' GTR?

NO, NOT AT THAT MONEY.

Just your annual race coverage!!

OK to have in a collection, just like the Duke race video,s

Cheers for the warning; I'll wait til they come down in price first then.

BTW - do you think they have recently shot up in value due to this thread :lol:

It's a good book, it covers the whole race and all the classes, so F1 content isn't terribly prominent, but there are some nice photos of the cars that competed. All of the text is in French, so if you can't read it you might be a little disappointed by the book. :2cents:

Best to view a copy first, before commiting to one blind.

Wait till Goodwood and check out the book stalls.

Greg:

You have been missing out on deals. Every race I go to, I hit the stalls to see what kind of McLaren items I can find. That's how I ended up with the Endurance and Le Mans books, McLaren T-Shirts, McLaren pins, etc. It's the stop I take right before lunch so I can put everything in my car and then head back to the paddock.

I would have the Le-mans 1995 in my top 3 behind F1 GTR Book,and the GT Endurance 95 book.I was lucky to pick my english version up at Le-man 98 race .I slipped up when buying the 1997 Le-mans book from the NEC once,as i bought the french version!
No wonder i never find much Mclaren stuff at shows these days,with all the other forum guy's in front of me.E-bay remains he top place for memorabilia.
Press packs from the various race,s seem quite rare.There are a few i would like! I have a couple of Gulf ones,West,& Marlboro-zuhai96.I would like the Davidoff 95 press pack someday!

I've got finally today that INTO THE RED- book. It's the second edition whit that CD. Thansk for those who recomended that book to me!
Quite a long time considered that but finally ended up to buy it.
And what a book it is. Absolutely fantastic historic cars and really great story about #10R, and the others. Only bad thing that book was, it is very....VERY expensive. :headshake But if you like historic cars, Alfa-Romeos, Bugatis, Ferraris and even BRM's, then you might consider it.
The quality of the book is exelent. Defenitely.

I thought I'd expand on this a little, as I have been active on the buying front of late.

I have begun to increase my library again, but this time with magazines. Recently, I have bought

This looks a strange choice, but it has 2 pages on the Mclaren GTR but it doesn't state so on the cover

http://i19.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/80/ca/807a_1_b.JPG

and I have been after this for a while, seeing as it has that 'famous' Black LM build pic in it

http://i1.ebayimg.com/06/i/001/31/d7/d0e8_35.JPG

I now intend to keep it at this for the time being, although once the bug bites again I may have to dive in and buy some more at a later date.

Suffice to say I have had to buy more storage boxes to keep these [and the books] in.

I just wish I bought them when they were out and kept them, instead of having to pay a slightly inflated price nowadays plus P+P

I thought I'd expand on this a little, as I have been active on the buying front of late.

I had had this magazine! Maybe still had! Have to go to find that!
I'll remember that the story was good and quality!
:runaround:

I was following a few books on Ebay today, and was amazed at the prices 2 in particular went for [credit crunch my ar5e ;)]

GTR by Michael Cotton, with #06R on the front, went for £270.00 and the GT book went for approx £227.00 :yikes:

HOH, I followed that Michael Cotton's book price developning, so it went 270£...:eek7: Grazy.

I've just bought the 1996 Le Mans book - it's pretty good, a nice read, some cool pictures and fairly cheap too :)

http://i18.ebayimg.com/06/i/001/43/ff/6512_35.JPG

I've also recently won off eBay Driving Ambition signed by Gordon Murray, Doug Nye and the late Creighton Brown :)

The Le Mans Commemorative Edition, run of 59; It's the 10th Anniversary Edition, so did they make a limited run after they won Le Mans, and then another run 10 years later? Or was it just produced 10 years after the Le Mans win?

The original Limited Edition DA was sold for £575. One is on ebay unsold at £438 as the reserve price wasn't met and seeing as they are now all sold out from Mclaren, is this really the price to pay?

Same goes for the brochure from the launch in Monaco - £215.00!! :eek::screwy::eek:

I see eBay in 2 lights - as a buyer hoping to find that 'gem' at a great price, and as a seller trying to get more than what I originally paid for the item.

Is the Monaco launch brochure a good book? Is it the same as DA but in a different cover? Or is there more info in there?

While there is some shared content, the Monaco Launch Brochure is not the same as DA. Keep in mind it was printed in 1992 and so the only F1 that existed at that point wasn't an F1 at all - it was the Clinic Model. Most of the photos in the Launch Brochure are from the quarry shoot by Colin Curwood. There are also various shots of internal parts and some exploded views. It's very well done.

Originally I didn't really want a brochure - there's some old posts in here where I described my reasoning - but once I got my hands on one I was pretty pleased with it. It helped that I paid about half price for mine compared to what many of them had changed hands for previously.

Well, I added another book to my collection yesterday. I have been mulling over buying this for a while, ever since the F1 owner who contacts me from time to time recommended it to be the best version. :thumbsup:

I finally took the plunge and bought the Le Mans edition of Driving Ambition, and picked it up from the Technology Centre yesterday afternoon. I didn't realise that, from the original run of 1000 Limited Edition books, 59 were chosen and made into the Commemorative Edition. I haven't read it yet, just looked at it and taken a few snaps of the outside.

I have #35/59

I don't mean to ask what could potentially be a stupid question - but what does chassis number 475 mean exactly..? I know it's an off-topic question as far as this thread goes, but I didn't think it was a big enough question to waste a new thread on.
And that's an awesome book you've got your hands on - well done!!! :)

Sorry for resurrecting this topic, but I was looking for some advice/opinions/encouragement...I'm giving serious thought to ordering the LeMans edition of the McLaren F1 book. I'm in the US, so I would appreciate feedback from any US members who have ordered any versions of the book from McLaren.
I'm assuming they still have some in stock; it doesn't indicate to the contrary on their website.....
Has anyone seen or purchased this version? Some feedback would be great. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hurstg01, congradulations for a great investment! :sunglasse

I have the Le Mans version as per the posts above [although I am UK based]. Whilst I was there Henry - who did the tour for me - did say there were only a few left, and bear in mind I got #35/59, there seems to be 24 left, but the last is being auctioned off for charity, and a few people were lucky enough to buy the number that mirrored the chassis # they own ;) therefore a few between 36 and 58 have already gone.

If you can spare the money its definitely worth it, both for the content and the potential future value of them once all are sold

I have today received the 1998 Le Mans book by Moity & Teissedre to go with my 1995 and 1996 ones - just need 1997 now :)
