1967 McLaren M1C & 1970 Osella PA3

I photographed these two cars exiting Priory Corner during a qualifying session for the AT & T Istel Steigenberger Supersports Cup Race at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992.
The green car is the 1967 McLaren M1C entered by Derichs Rennwagen and driven by Wido Rössler. It's chassis M1C-40-11 and has a small-block Chevrolet 4,992cc V8 engine. The M1C was a customer car built to compete in the CanAm series in Canada and the USA, and M1C-40-11 was originally supplied to Carl Haas. It later passed to Ralph Treischman and then Jim Phillips before spending 14 years in Harrah's Museum then coming back to the UK. The red car is the 1970 Osella PA3 of Lawrence Rose and has a 2 litre BMW M12 engine.
