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.
