1969 McLaren M6B GT Coupe

From the start of his venture in racing, Bruce McLaren dreamt of creating a great closed GT car to compete in endurance events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The M6GT was his first solid attempt at doing that. The coupe was named perhaps in tribute to the M6A that kicked off McLaren's initial success, since the M6GT had a 1969 Can-Am chassis that served as its base. It also had a 5.7-liter Chevrolet V8, a flowing roofline and a full interior - and it was blistering quick. It had an estimated top speed of 165 mph and could go from zero to 100 mph in eight seconds. Regrettably, FIA changed the rules, requiring a minimum of 50 production cars for a model to be homologated. And since McLaren was really just starting out, that was an impossibility. Twenty-five years later, Bruce's dream would finally come to life in the McLaren F1 Road Car, which went on to win Le Mans in 1995. Meanwhile, after being converted to road use, this M6GT became Bruce McLaren's personal car, used for commutes to the factory and race meetings. It was the only M6GT built at the McLaren Racing factory. Its current owner acquired the car in 2013.
