Drivers in 1970 Season: Peter Gethin, Derek Bell, Reine Wisell. I am told by Peter Gethin that the car was the only M10B to be owned by McLaren in 1970 and was loaned to Sid Taylor's team. Peter Gethin won the F5000 championship in 1970 in the car and jointly held the outright lap record at Castle Combe for 14 years.
The car also competed in some combined F1 / F500 races between 1970 & 1973.
Owners after McLaren were:
1971-72 Keith Holand
1972 Clive Baker
1973 Chris Oates
1974-76 Dave Harris Won the British Sprint championship in the car in 1975 & 76
1977 Taylor
1977-78 Robin Darlington
1979 Michael Lavers

2000-date Mark Longmore.
The car was restored by the well respected Hall & Fowler between 1991 and 1993 before being sold to a German collector. Please can you let me know if you have any information on the car or if you are interested in receiving a full history of the car when I have it all in place? I enclose a photo of the car in its current state and a photo copy of the car as run in 1970. I am currently restoring the car to its original look and livery (White with Green stripes) do you have any a colour photos? I intend to have the car ready for the "2001 Force Historic F5000 championship". The car will be driven by myself, but in the main by Morgan +8 champion Matthew Wurr.
