Most Beautiful Race Cars
#72
At this years Sonoma Historics, there were 30 Can Am cars entered, 18 of which were McLarens. It was quite a sight to see that many M6's and M8's in one place.
Here is one more pic of that beautiful blue M8E with gold stacks

WIN!!! I thought that one with the fins was a 'F'. I really need to get over to my uncles house and scan some of his 'E'.
Here is one of his Mk6. I am the kid standing in the car next to him.
"must spread rep...."

Buzz, the model names for the McLaren's Can Am's are confusing to say the least. Then to confuse things even more, privateers have modified them further over the years thus creating the "E/F" or "E/D" designations, none of which appear on the McLaren Trust website car guide. I rely mostly on the programs from the historic Can Am races I have attended for model numbers.

I still remember watching Yannick Dalmas's backflip in the race leading car at the inaugural Petit Le Mans. And I might have one of the wing mirrors that I filched from the wreckage piled up in the pit lane...
