DescriptionThis perfectly restored McLaren Formula A car has had only 5 owners since new and has a continuous and documented history. Sales invoices from all three prior owners are available. The car was purchased new from McLaren/Trojan in 1969 by well-known Canadian privateer, Roger McCaig. He campaigned the car in 1969 and 1970. His original setup notes for the car accompany it. It then went to the Minneapolis, Minnesota area in 1972 to a private owner. It was donated to a French Canadian auto museum in 1977 where it remained until it was purchased by the restorer in 1984. The restored car was sold to the previous owner in 1993. He raced once in 1993 and has been on display since. The car was acquired by the current owner last year and he has not had the opportunity to race it and now does not anticipate having the time in the near future, hence it is reluctantly again offered for sale.The car was the object of a perfect restoration to original condition in Canada by Yves Perreault. The car retains it's original and desirable McLaren orange livery. The 305 Chevy has only 2 hours on it since the rebuild. The car is absolutely correct and race ready.

In North America the series was won by Tony Adamowicz' Eagle, after a season-long battle with Sam Posey's M10A. John Cannon won the series in 1970 with a M10B. The M10B was a modestly updated M10A featuring revised steering, low-offset wheels, lower engine position and lighter gearbox. Altogether 17 M10As and 21 M10Bs were produced by Trojan.
