If you have watched the film “Rush”, then you’ll likely have seen this very car.
One of two McLaren M23 replicas built for Ron Howards dramatic story of the 1976 F1 Championship.
Two 1976 McLaren M23s were built as replicas to ensure the production team had drivable availability of a McLaren M23 on set. These were very clever replicas produced down to the finest detail and indistinguishable from the real car in the film scenes.
Displaying a very convincing patina which takes you back at first glance as the iconic livery is etched into any motorsport enthusiast’s mind from 1976, a season that elevated James Hunt to global English hero and sportsmanship, the like of which we may never see again.
