It's with huge sadness that I learn that McLaren M8A/2 will leave this country - especially sad for all those who made great contributions and sacrifices to see such a piece of NZ motor racing history disappear into someone's shed.

Huge credit to Duncan for such an effort in perfectionism and for his patience in relating (much of it on camera) how Team McLaren built them, how it came to be in the state it was 14 years ago, and how he pieced together parts and drawings, photos etc. Exciting milestones in the return of the car from the dead were recorded and now it seems the story will be forgotten again. Will we ever learn the real value of our heritage?

Just my view as of this week and maybe I will feel differently in a year's time...
