My understanding is that there were only like 2 of these built. So I do not understand how they say that 17 were built. Jim, I also do not understand you continuation car comment, as Bruce died in 1970. Thus who built these cars and how come I only think there are 2 real ones? Bloody awesome though isn't it ... so clean and undramatic, but I can understand that if I was in Jim's position I would want one that Bruce had sat it. Now that would be something very, very special ... and go nicely with the GT40. Pete
As far as I know after the two Bruce built Trojan built a run of aprox 17 but these weren't built by Bruce and there are a few couped can am cars that others built up as well as pure replica's (Manta). Someone Callum? from NZ posted about the real ones which are way cool. That said a Trojan car is a lot of car and has some value as Trojan was connected with McLaren. Best A Chaparall now that would fit right in...
That would be amazing to drive it on the street actually. I know if I saw one drive by I'd probally crap myself.
Arh that makes sense. Trojan even built many M6 CanAm cars. Callum sounds right ... well known name in NZ motorracing circles and was involved with McLaren. Pete
This shows up at the NW Historics every year. I was told it was a McLaren. Any relation? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
looks like a kit (replicar) by a company called marauder. a nice car made in england that used a zf tranny. the car gary has as described by jg is actually a very nice car ...just not real. i am curious if it is vintage raceable...at least not at monterey? pcb
That's not a marauder. Marauder kits were tube frame. IMO these "kits" were TOTAL POS. IMO Marauder/Randy Berry are TOTAL FRAUDS WHO ONLY EXIST TO CONTINUE THIS FRAUD BY DUPING INNOCENT PEOPLE OUT OF $ FOR A BROCHURE. As for vintage as Gary's car is built on a genuine McLaren tub it would be quite eligable anywhere. It's also real, it just not an original coupe of which there were only, so far as I know, two. The above car looks to me like another Trojan car built on a McLaren tub. Others?
What kills me about the yellow car is the BFGoodrich Radial TA tires, muscle car tires. A very clean car and looked to be well engineered.
agreed...why do these people not understand that white letter tires and lousy wheels don't cut it?!!! it probably has big money and time invested...to bad they ran out of money when it came wheels and tires. btw, i like the car gary has and actually made a low offer on it. i really liked that it was street reistered and would be balsey as hell to drive now and then. best, pcb
There are only two M6GTs that I know of (although some sources state four were made). One is Bruces personal car OBH 500H, now in The Mathews Collection. The other prototype was sold to David Prophet and later modified to open top form, I recently found a for sale ad for this car on www.racecarsdirect.com for 250,000 Euros, but the website is not working so I cant find the details at the moment. From what I can remember the car was in Canada and claimed to be the David Prophet car, with full documentation, however there was no picture so I dont know what the current state of the car is. There appear to be some confusion as to the car listed on www.bobileff.com the main page lists it as a M6GT but the description says M12GT but I understood only one M12GT was built, based on a widened and shortened M6GT coachwork on the M12 chassis, however, like racing Ferraris, the exact details remain clouded in mystery. Looks like it could be one of the incarnations of the Manta Montage
