The M7B started as an M7A-3 fitted with broad pannier style fuel tanks at the beginning of the 1969 season as a research vehicle to test weight distribution and give room for the adoption of a four-wheel-drive system.

It was not very successful and was sold to Colin Crabbe's Antique Automobiles Racing team for Vic Elford to drive. Apart from the panniers, its specification was little different from the standard M7A's
