Denny Hulme's McLaren M23 - up close

[Andrew Metford]

I just uploaded a video of Denny driving the old M23 in 1987 at Pukekohe for a couple of demo laps.. Justa wee snippet I had on a DVD of the '87 NZGP. Have look at it here: http://youtu.be/r4aF9u2Nkw0

That's a good bit of footage there. Thank you for posting it.

Haven't seen a crowd like that at the NZGP for many a long year, and sadly probably never will again either.

I really applaud Phil Mauger for race preparing the car without loosing its patina and campaigning the M23 all around the world. I know the Swedes were ecstatic with its return to their circuit where Denny scored its first victory. Phil has often raced with the F5000's. Always a good racer and taking care of the car at the same time. His run at the Leadfoot was astonishingly quick and put him in the top ten shootout. It must have been a difficult decision for Greeta to sell the car, but I'm sure she will have been pleased with the way Phil has taken the car around the world to celebrate Denny's name and achievements - top bloke!
