 The McLaren and Mini Cooper Connection http://old.minis-auckland.org.nz/technical/McLaren.html "On 26th January 1963 Bruce won the Teretonga International race in the South Island of New Zealand in a Cooper F1 car, and thrilled spectators by some extraordinary drives with the Mini Cooper Number #47, in supporting saloon car races. At this meeting Bruce was doing some exploratory laps in this Mini with Innes Ireland in the passenger seat when the car lost a right front wheel and ended up in the sand hills at the side of the track."  Bruce McLaren standing by his F1 Cooper looking at his stranded Mini Cooper at Teretonga 1963. Last edited by mab01UK; 31 Oct 2016 at 23:35. |
