A couple from the fantastic Haynes Motor Museum Devon, UK. Well worth a visit if you are in the UK and not too far from London by road.

Built many years ago. Used a 1/12 Tamiya McLaren M23 mated to a Lola T70 engine and box. How the hell I did that signwriting on it I don't know.All hand painted ! George told me once "that I must have used a hair from a gnats eyebrow " to do it. What a great man. Graham Sorrenson was the co-builder
