Oh boy, I can't get enough of these cars!
I've never managed to find out the true story behind the Led Zeppelin McLaren M8E (#12 car which appears at approx the 1.20 mark in the last video). Did Led Zeppelin actually own this car?
From what I understand, the car was raced in the 1974 Interseries sponsored by Zep drummer John Bonham who was a pretty full on car nut.. had a large collection of Hot Rods and classic carsQuote:

At the time it was being used as a display, being hung from a ceiling! Makes sense I could find no info about it, I was looking through the Can-Am history! duh!Quote:
