I took this photograph at Lodge
Corner during qualifying for the HSCC Pre'80 Endurance Challenge race at the
Gold Cup Meeting at Oulton Park in August 2018.
It's Anthony Taylor's 1968
McLaren M6B which the programme of the event says has a 5 litre engine. The M6B
was the customer version of the Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Team's M6A which was
built for the 1967 Can-Am season. The customer car was developed in conjunction
with McLaren's technical partner Trojan and sold without an engine, but the M6A
had a Chevrolet engine and it's likely that this car also has the 307 cu in
Chevrolet small-block V8 engine.
