What better way to get your Christmas tree home than on the roof of a race car?

Car nut โ€“ Andy Bruce โ€“ owns a McLaren F1, but not just any road-legal version you may see from time to time. He owns a McLaren F1 GTR race car, fully converted for road use from its former life as Team Lark McLaren GTR #13R.

Back in 1996, former F1 drivers Ralf Schumacher and Naoki Hattori drove the Team Lark GTR to second place in the Japanese GT Championship under two builds, chassis #13R and #14R, with this particular chassis being the former as mentioned.

Bruce is also no stranger to exotic cars. Alongside the GTR in his stable is a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, a Ferrari 458 Speciale, a Ferrari TDF, and a road-converted McLaren P1 GTR (wearing the same Lark livery as the GTR). Ohโ€ฆ and he ordered an Aston Martin Valkyrie shortly after. Quite the collection.

Using any excuse to take his converted GTR for a spin while also splicing in a genuine piss-take of the holiday season, Bruce proved the everyday usability of the triple-seater weapon. Whatโ€™s equally as impressive is seeing his F1 live a non-reclusive life (as many former race cars often do), which is as glorious as it is rare.
