Product Information Brand: UT/Paul's Model ArtModel: MCLAREN F1 GTR UT "Paul's Model Art" Blue Box Edition (see below for explanation of differences) Condition: Mint in Box, been opened only for photos and inspection. ** THIS CAR IS NOT IN ITS ORIGINAL BLUEBOX BUT IS IN MINT CONDITION, JUST IN ANOTHER MCLAREN BOX **Before the release of the Autoart version, UT Mclarens are the best examples of the 6.0l UK beast. Yes, some might agree that UT Mclarens do not have brake calipers, they do not have interior flockings, their engine bay details are pathetic and so... But when you put them beside Maisto's and Guiloy's exmaples, they do stand out evidently from the trio. Not to mention the fact that they were made almost a DECADE ago. Given with the technology then, you've really got to be impressed by the workmanship in the past. 2. Examples of the cars made UT manufactured quite a number of variants of this car, be it the road car, race car or the longtail versions. Most UT Mclarens owners probably have the Common silver ones with them. However, UT did came out with Graphite grey and the Ultra-rare British racing green. LM XP1 LM (papaya orange) XP1 LM (Metallic Blue) XP1 LM (Silver). When we talk about UT Mclarens, many of us thought of thier Famous XP1 LM in Orange. What many people, even UT Mclaren fanatics , didn't know was they did the XP1 LM in 3 colours, the other 2 being Metallic Blue and Silver. Apparently, the other 2 in the colours commands the highest price for any version of UT Mclarens, beating even the Dealer edition "Fina" GT-Rs. GT-Rs #24 'Gulf' #30 'west' #34 'Gulf' #38 'Fina' #39 'Fina' #51 'Harrods' #53 'Franck Muller' #59 'Ueno Clinic' Amongst the few, the #59 "Ueno clinic" has got to be one of the favorite Mclarens to collect as it won the '95 Le Mans. the car which came in second, the #51 'Harrods" is quite popular with UK collectors due to the sponsorship of the giant high-end UK departmental store, Harrods. GTs test-car (Black, later stripped to be raced as #44 "Lark") #8 'Fina' #9 'Fina' #39 'gulf' #40 'gulf' #41 'gulf' #40 'EMI' #41 'Locitite' For the longtails, there isn't a clear favourite for collectors. But note that the #41 'Locitite' is one of the most hardest/rarest Mclaren to get. 3. Box and design This is the section which I would like to address to most of the people here. alright firstly, HOW MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF BOX UT CAME OUT FOR THEIR MCLARENS? Answer: For roadcars, they are only one, the regular box you have. For LM versions, there are the BLUE BOX and the regular (Green box) versions. Under BLUE BOX versions, there are the normal one and the one with anteanne For the GT-Rs, there are the "PMA" box, and the regular (Green box) and the Dealer edition box. For the GT, I'm not too sure but there should be only one, the regular box you have. Next, WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCE THEN?? Answer: For the LMs & GTRs Blue Box (LM)/PMA box (GT-Rs): -Have a split wing (more accurate) -front has a single opening duct (more accurate) -Braking and signal lights are protruded out (more accurate) -Back engine mesh are panels (LM: more accurate, GTR: less accurate) -has a short base (less accurate) -Engine exhaust (more accurate) -Headlight top is moulded part of body (more accurate) there are 2 versions for the blue box, 1 with antennae and 1 without. Technically speaking, the one with anteanne is Inaccurate, but fetches a higher price due to its rarity over the non-antennae version- plane spoiler (Less accurate) -Braking and Signal lights are inside (Less accurate) -back engine mesh are wire mesh decals (LM: Less accurate, GT-R More accurate) -has a long base (More accurate) -engine exhaust (Less accurate) -headlight top is a seperate piece (Less accurate).
