McLaren M6B

This car competed in 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.

Anthony Taylor's car is chassis 50-08 which was originally supplied to Canadian Roger McCaig who used it to contest the 1969 Can-Am series He then sold it to fellow Canadian Ranier Brezinka who used it to compete in the 1970 Can-Am series but crashed and wrecked the car at the Road Atlanta race. The remains of the car, excluding the severely damaged tub were sold to Doug Rowe, and some years later Ranier Brezinka sold the damaged tub to Anthony Taylor who acquired the remaining parts from Doug Rowe and used these to help rebuilt the car.

I've shown photographs of the McLaren M6B previously, most recently on 28 November 2017.
