Steve, here are a few neat "Hollywood Sport Cars" bits that are also linked to McLaren 20/09.

Steve, I believe Doug Hooper was driving a Lola T70 in this race.

I've asked Harvey Lasiter, who owned the car at this time, what induction set up this was. Harvey could only note that it was something that Doug Hooper made up.
My gut says it may be...
This is Cris Vandagriff and his sister taking the victory lap with Jim Adams at Santa Barbara. When I first showed Cris this photo he mentioned that this may be the only time his sister ever stepped...
Number 55 was Jim Adam's doing. Jim used #55 in his MGA, the HSC MGB, the HSC Tiger, and the HSC McLaren.
I asked Cris Vandagriff for his thoughts and he believes that his Dad/Chic Vandagriff...

You were right about those shown in the photos above. From left to right, as you view this photo, that is Doane Spencer, Jim Adams and Chic Vandagriff.

Steve, I'd be happy to pay, but I don't know that I would if I didn't already know what great content and community was within.
Because of that, I'd think you'd want to let the non-member see a...
Here is a photo of Bruce McLaren seated on the grid with friends and crew at Nassau, 1964.

Though I gather that is not the car that went to New Zealand, this bit about "1964 Eisert Indy Car Serial #1" may be of interest to those following this thread.
Thanks Jerry. Great additional information, and a nice article about Mr. Hauser.

Hello Steve,
If racingsportscars entry for this Santa Barbara race is accurate, the #54 Sunbeam that appears at the 3:00 mark, was an Alpine running in F-Production. Owner and driver is listed as...
You're right. I should have watched the whole thing. 1965 coverage is definitely near the end. The Hollywood Sport Cars Sunbeam Tiger, shows up as a blip near the same segment, and that made it's...
Outstanding video! Thanks for posting the link.
Hopefully Jerry Entin will pipe in soon, but this would appear to be a 1963 or 1964 Santa Barbara Road Race.
We can also hope the YouTube...

One of the best angles of a DeKon Monza, and caught in just the right moment by Mr. Marshall. Great stuff.
That is an outstanding photo! What a great car, with such a trick rear transaxle, IRS, rear brake set-up and center-lock wheel mounting, dry sump tank, and, well, just about everything that you can...
About as much commitment as can be given, on this lap, and more.
Such a great car. I really enjoy seeing unique and powerful engines stuffed into a charming little shell. Though I didn't know of this car prior to seeing it offered for sale, back in August, I've...
Hello Steve,
What a great article, coupled with a bunch of great additional follow up and member postings. I love this car, and felt lucky and thankful to Craig Stacey for bringing it to the...
To second Steve, I too would really enjoy seeing this photo of the Coppins Pontiac before it arrived in New Zealand.
There's one on Bringatrailer...
