1968 McLaren M6B

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.
