This chassis number 25 car has been restored to 'as-new' condition by McLaren Special Operations over the last 18 months.
It was built as one of three Longtail cars for the Gulf-Davidoff team for GT racing in 1997. That year, it was campaigned at Le Mans, with drivers Andrew Gilbert-Scott, Ray Bellm and Masanori Sekiya, but retired with two hours remaining when a oil line fractured, causing a fire.
Following factory repairs, '25R' was sold to Japan and was raced there until 2005 when, at the Fuji Speedway, it became the last F1 GTR to contest a contemporary race series.
It was then exhibited in Japan before being sold to its current owner who returned it to the UK in 2016.
Its owner's collection is curated by classic car consultancy Kidston SA, founded by McLaren owner and international broker of F1s Simon Kidston.
This is the final F1 GTR to race in period and now it's back to best
When work began, '25R' required extensive work and the new parts used weren't only specific to the 1997 GTR, they're all pre-June ’97 parts, meaning the finished car is exactly as it would've been when it left for the Circuit de la Sarthe.
