“THE M6GT IS THE BRITISH BATMOBILE THE USA NEVER HAD”
There’s a famous old photo of Bruce McLaren, parked outside a corner shop in East Horsley, doors up, slouched in the chaise-longue driver’s seat of a barely disguised Can-Am racer – get Googling for it, you won’t be disappointed. Enclosed in flame-red bodywork and fitted with treaded tyres, it was, to all intents, a street-legal McLaren supercar… 23 years before the F1. A proper road-going racer, it became Bruce’s daily driver. It’s thought he drove it to Goodwood on the day he died, in June 1970.
