Chassis: M23-14
The final M23 constructed, this is the only example never raced by the factory as it was sold new to American privateer Brett Lunger. He raced the car with limited success in World Championship events from June of 1977 to January of 1978. Chassis M23-14 was then sold to Tony Trimmer, who campaigned it in the Aurora AFX Championship with considerable success. He also, unsuccessfully, tried to qualify the car for the 1978 British Grand Prix. Back in American hands, the final M23 has since been restored to its Brett Lunger configuration and livery.
