1969 McLaren M6B GT Coupe

  • Chassis Number: 50-17
This is a 1969 McLaren M6B GT with serial number M6 GT 50-17. This car is one of six M6B/GTs built and the only one to have raced in period.

This chassis was the Trojan Prototype displayed at the London Auto Show in January 1969. Later it was sold to English racer David Prophet and bodied as a M6B GT Coupe and raced during the 1969 European season.

In 1970 Prophet sold the car to Bill Bradley Racing for the 1970 Interseries Series, which was the European equivalent to the CanAm series. It was rebodied as an M12 Roadster and campaigned by Prophet in all of the Interseries races except Keimola where Leo Kinnunen drove it.

After the 1970 season, Bradley racing offered the car for sale and was purchased, as an M6 GT Coupe street car, by Canadian Andre Fournier who used it to drive his children to school. Later Gilles St. Pierre of Quebec, Canada purchased the car for his collection, where it remained until January 2006.

Since purchasing the car in January of 2006, current owner James Edward is returning the car to its original race condition for competition in select historic race events.

It was inspected by McLaren Trust Members at Road America's 40th Can Am reunion. It was confirmed that this M6B/GT was as originally built including the chassis, corners and body. They stated that it was one of two such vehicles left in existence.

The car just participated in the 40th CanAm reunion at Road America where a number of McLaren experts were amazed to see an original chassis in such pristine condition. Comments from former McLaren crew members, fabricators, and McLaren Trust Members from New Zealand included that this may be one of two or three original McLarens in existence.

They all loved seeing it in the true museum 'The Track' but hope it will remain an unmolested example of vintage McLaren.
