Chassis: M23-1
The first of four McLaren M23s built for the 1973 season, this car was raced exclusively by Denny Hulme that year. He used it to win the Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstop and also finished on the podium at the British Grand Prix and the Race of the Champions. For a select few races in 1974, chassis M23-1 was campaigned by Mike Hailwood, with a third at Kyalami in the South African Grand Prix as the best result. Restored to its 1973 configuration and colours, it is today owned by an enthusiast from New Zeeland. At rare outings, the car is seen here at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Monterey Historic Races.
