A few years ago chassis 061 was bought by a Saudi Millionaire called Faisal Bin Laden and taken to Saudi Arabia which could explain the confusion. So now the Middle East has another mclaren F1 along with the one that Joe Macari in the UK recently sold. Just a useless fun fact there. Also love your videos by the way they are always a treat.

Ed, I can add a bit of light to the number plate in the UK as I work in Car Insurance and work in Total Loss. The El Chappo car when it was exported from the UK, the DVLA who issue license plates in the UK would have removed the plate from the vehicle as it no longer fell under their jurisdiction. This meant the plate was spare, but they would assign this plate to a similar vehicle, should it need to be registered. The GTR was not road registered and was converted and in doing so, needed to apply for a license plate. The DVLA would have had the plate spare for the El Chappo Mclaren and this more then likely how it ended up on the GTR. If you check the dates of when the El Chappo was exported from the UK and when the GTR was road registered, it will show there is a gap and hence the P440CPJ being assigned to the GTR.
@cmartin_ok Жыл бұрын
It would be highly unusual for the DVLA to re-issue a plate from an exported (or scrapped) car to another one. Usually a plate "dies" when a car leaves their records... my dad was gifted a car with a non-dating plate starting or ending "AAA" but the car had no MoT and when it was scrapped the DVLA wouldn't allow the plate to be retained or re-issued to another car. OTOH you can transfer a plate that you own and that is on a road-legal car to another car with very little effort and for a small fee. My dad transferred "his" non-dating plate (it was on an early 1960's car that he bought used) onto about 5 different cars that he subsequently owned; on his death I inherited it and it's now on one of my cars. If McLaren owned P440CPJ, they themselves could have transferred it onto another F1. The trouble is, in order to find the chassis number of the car it is on, you need more than just the licence plate - unless you work for the DVLA and have access to the vehicle database

Makes no difference you paid for it, you gave ownership to them by accepting the licence.

It’s actually common for a car registration number to transfer from one car to another in the UK, these are known as private plates which this one is as it doesn’t conform to the standard issue DVLA format, the plate owner simply has to register the plate to the car that they want to move the plate to for a fee of £80 (watch any Porsche 911 review over the years by a UK journalist and you’ll see the plate 911 HUL, which is owned by Porsche UK and is put on all their press cars).

“The end of the road for the El Chapo McLaren F1”…. that sounds like what someone would say that wants everyone else to stop looking.

Ed: Finds out the F1 he wants is stolen Also Ed: "Murderous carjackers, I have a Murci to trade for your stolen McLaren"

Ed, if that is the actual picture of the “key” invoice. You are totally incorrect about the 200k USD price. Its actually around 20k USD for the key. Check the math.

Awesome episode! What a great story. Seen them all and seeing it come to an end Thru Ed’s storytelling.... Epic. The power of the internet. Love how Ed is manifesting the P1. It’s already yours. Just a matter of time. This story ain’t over , Ed. It will continue. 🐐

I thought that Ed's investigations were serious but you have a lot of wrong information, in fact the F1 is currently undergoing a deep restoration in some state of the USA, the former owner, Valentino Ojeda sold it to a well-known businessman from CDMX so do not say stupid, because that F1 is not in South America!

So, with all the info we have so far, we can conclude that this car still belongs to the same people and they want the interest that was generated on this to die down hence the final "outcome" of it, or, what was said to have happened to it is actually what happened in which case the car went to someone who has access to the resources to facilitate something like that happening and that means this car will never be seen by the public again unless the new owner wants it to be seen in public. And Ed being Ed with his shrewd negotiation at the end, don't know why that even came as a surprise 🤣

Please correct me if am wrong but legally Freddy's McLaren yellow car can't be legally driven in the USA because it has a title Certificate of destruction from COPART, however he can trade it in for Ed's El Chapo's McLaren to be legally driven in Central and South America. Good trade Ed and Freddy you can get all of your money back and some.😂🎉
