    William. I'm sure someone has posted photos of his 'new' McLaren M8F somewhere on FerrariChat. (It was black).

    Maybe 'John Burke' ? Anyway, I found this:

    These are great Monsters. You have to make sure that they are WELL maintained and have been stored properly. The tubs being 40 years old can be dangerous if not kept up and remember rust never sleeps. Your best source are the Vintage Magazines that follow them such as Vintage MotorSports.

    They will Rock You!

    I'll have my Lola at Palm Beach Super Car Weekend if you want a ride.

    Best
