The
Goodwood Festival of Speed is the premier historic and vintage car
event of the year worldwide. For the Mathews Collection, the highpoint
of 2000 was an invitation to bring two cars over to help honor Bruce
McLaren on the 30th anniversary of his death at the Goodwood circuit
in 1970.
Harry
was at the wheel of the M6A-1,
one of the most significant cars there, since it was Bruce's championship
winning Can-Am car from 1967. There were many memorable moments
for Harry, but none had more impact than driving up the long road
to the manor during the McLaren parade with Bruce's daughter Amanda
in the seat next to him.
Harry
was also honored to have Lord Charles March, the host of the Goodwood
Festival of Speed, at the wheel of the Mathews Collection's historic
McLaren Elva M1A. This
model was the first McLaren sports car, and this car was driven
by Graham Hill in the 1965 L.A. Times Grand Prix in Riverside, CA
It was also featured in the Elvis Presley movie "Spinout".
It is a very historic and original car.
