McLaren M8B Michigan #15 Brabham by Marsh Models
Jack Brabham was contracted to Ford for some Can-Am races in 1969 and at the new Michigan circuit arrived to find a G7A that was far from his liking. He attempted to qualify the car and was ten seconds off the pace, so had a word with his former teammate Bruce McLaren and borrowed the spare Chevy-powered M8B to improve his grid position! There are a few photos of ‘Black Jack’ on board the orange machine and this typically well finished model from Marsh matches these well. This subject is hand built only and is limited to just 25 examples.
