Designing the Mclaren F1 Owners Manual

[Chrisbassett]

A video about something most of us will probably never get a chance to see, never mind have the need to own. Very design-geek oriented, but nice.

F1? so rare.......

 

[BennyD]

It is rare as it's the only red one in the country and, apparently, one of only two in the world. It's absolutely fantastic.

wonderful drawings and love the style.

I was taught by a guy who used to do the drawings of Fords and there engines as cutaways and I remember I had to do a engine drawing in ink and then use airbrush, bloody long work.

At the time everyone said they were never worth the money they cost, owners who bought them and still have them are sitting on a tidy profit

 

[Contigo]

Massive profit! They reckon 4 -5 million easily and the rest considering they were about 350-400k when they came out it's madness!

they 5m?

 

[BennyD]

They used to be but things have moved on.

 

[Contigo]

And the rest.

they say you lose money on cars......

 

[Contigo]

Most hypercars now sell out instantly simply because people buy them knowing that they will appreciate. Same will apply to the P1, La Ferrari and the 918.
