A successful racing driver in his own right, Bruce Mclaren formed
his own motor racing team in 1961 and raced his first Mclaren Grand
Prix car at Monaco in 1966. The New Zealander scored his first Grand
Prix win in a car of his own design and construction in Belgium
in 1968. Designed by Gordon Coppuck, the M23 took pole position
in its maiden outing in South Africa in 1973, and went on to win
three Grand Prix that year. In 1974 the M23, driven by Emerson Fittipaldi
won the World Championship. James Hunt in the M23 won the World
Championship in 1976.
This rare Scalextric C108 McLaren M23 model is complete. Thoroughly
cleaned and serviced the car is fitted with new pick up braids
and tyres. The car has been track tested and runs extremely well
with quiet smooth motor and gears. The front and rear wing mouldings
and the airbox mouldings are complete. The tyres are in good,
grippy condition with no cracks or other damage.
The body has no scratches and is in good condition.
This Scalextric McLaren M23 car is wonderful to race and would
add value to any collection.
