Bruce McLaren's unique M7C debuted at the International Trophy at Silverstone in March of 1969. Little over a month later Bruce placed it second at Montjuich in Spain, which would be the car's best finish. In 1970 John Surtees campaigned the car in the opening Grands Prix, while he awaited the completion of his first car. Impressively Carlos Reutemann managed to finish third in this car at the 1971 Argentinian Grand Prix. Jo Bonnier and Helmut Marko also campaigned the car before it was retired at the end of the year.

Eventually the car was bought back by McLaren and restored to its 1969 Spanish Grand Prix configuration complete with the high-mounted wing. It is usually seen at the McLaren Technology Centre, where it is proudly displayed alongside several other historically significant McLarens. As part of the McLaren 60 celebrations, it was restored to full running order in 2023.
