I hope the ID's are correct. I will follow up on more similar as these are stolen from the WWW.

Brilliant pics Frans. Thanks for sharing. I just love the high-wing era, not only of F1, but also Can-Am and F5000.

The photo of Bruce, he was 5th in the 69 South African GP.
The McLaren M7B had the extra side tanks, they were in the time when the cars were getting different tried at every race( not only wings )
I have a model of this car in my collection, all of my Bruce and Denny M7 models have differences, mainly different wings.
