In 1966 there were many different classes and races at Green Valley which brought out a variety of cars from Alfa Romeos
to a "Zerex Special".
I thought surely that is not THE ""ZEREX SPECIAL" that Roger Penske and Bruce McLaren drove but after reading this "primotipo.com"
article it verified that this was indeed that car now driven by a Dave Morgan.
" In Bruces’ hands the car won the Aintree 200 in April 1964, the Silverstone International, the Player’s 200 at Mosport in June and the Guards Trophy at Brands Hatch in August’. After the Toursist Trophy at Goodwood in August Bruce sold the car, via Mecom/Teddy Mayer car to Dave Morgan having obtained all the information he needed to build his first sports car. The prototype McLaren M1A , also Oldsmobile powered, appeared later in 1964.
Morgan raced the car into 1965 and 1966 in the US and Nassau. From Morgan the car was sold to Leo Barboza in Venezuela, the car is still there in his families hands."
