The McLaren image thread

Post

In the light of Alono's move to McLaren, I thought we needed this thread to upload our sentiments.

This is what I associate with McLaren anyways;

For me, this is McLaren. Odd that it was set up as an F1 team, but I still associate it more with road cars than F1.

That's actually Denny Hulme and Peter Gethin in 1970, after Dan Gurney had to step off due to sponsorship issues,
but this is however the 1971 Denny and Peter show, little did they know what Penske had up his sleeve for 1972;

I recall visiting the MOTAT Museum in Auckland NZ as a kid,
& marvelling at Bruce's 1st road-car McLaren, the (AFAIR) - M6B..
..It really stood out as modern/futuristic among the older relics there.. ..anyone got a pic of it - to put up?

Nah - thanx - but that's a racing car, Bruce might have used that as a basis for his GT road car though..

Yeah, Bruce was impressed by the NASCAR Ford 427 powered GT he & Chris Amon drove to win Le Mans in `66..
& wanted to build a McLaren GT road car - using a Can-Am chassis as a basis..
