The first Bruce McLaren sports car the M 1 BMMR 1 was beautifully built in tiny premises in Feltham, London, 60 years ago.
The Sonoma Invitational was to honor that occasion and many different McLaren race cars were brought there to be on display or to compete.
The oldest McLaren sports car there was M1 BMMR 2-64. The history was on display.
Did sports cars back then have to carry a full spare tyre? What was the point of that as it looks like a dangerous object at face level if one had an accident !
