NZ plate?? Local build?? Maybe 1964-ish racers (I'm guessing the date), so 1968 van date is too young?? |

Van introduced as A/M in 1960. |

"The McLaren team's first championship series entries were for the 1964 Tasman Series, running Timmy Mayer and team-leader McLaren in custom-built Cooper T70 cars. However, Mayer was killed in practice for the final race of the series, at Longford, Tasmania, when he lost control at over 100 mph and spun and hit a tree next to the course." (Feb 64) - from wiki. So van is likely to be 1963-ish. Any info whether NZ favoured Austin or Morris?? Also possible as a Tasman event this could be Aus?? |
