McLAREN M6 GT - PRODUCTION

It is commonly accepted that three period-built McLaren M6 GTs exist. The first original prototype built by McLaren and two further GTs built by the Trojan Group which had been franchised by McLaren to build all of the customer racing cars since the mid 1960's.

M6/GT-01

Bruce McLaren's own car built in the McLaren Motor Racing shops and UK road registered as OBH 500H. Following Bruce's death it was purchased by Phil Kerr and Denny Hulme and displayed at the Auckland Transport Museum. The car was sold to a collector in the USA and now resides in the Harry Matthews collection.

M6B/GT 50-17

Built by Trojan and sold to David Prophet who raced it twice in 1969 European races as a GT. The car was sold to a private collector in Canada in 1972 where it remained until it was auctioned by RM Auctions in January 2006.

M12 GT (chassis number unknown)

Built by Trojan and tested by Road & Track magazine as an "M6 GT" in 1974. The car was auctioned in 1972 at the Kirk White, Philadelphia auction but did not sell. The car was eventually sold to Ted Petersen in California who converted it to a road car. Its present whereabouts are not known.

Other replicas M6 GTs are in existence, many using original Can-Am mechanicals and wearing a Trojan body.
