This McLaren M8E was originally campaigned by Roy Woods during the 1971 season. It was later driven by Vic Elford who crashed the car during practice at Laguna Seca. The car has been fully restored by Benton Bryan using an original monocoque tub and is equipped with a Lucas-injected all-aluminum Keith Black big block Chevy engine. The car has been extensively campaigned in vintage racing during the 1980s by both Vic Elford and Benton Bryan.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2012
