Replacing the McLaren M19 in 1973 was the formidable M23 which was used for four years until it was eventually replaced in 1977 with the M26. The M23 earned McLaren the Constructors' Championship in 1974 as well as two Drivers' Championships in 1974 (James Hunt) and 1976 (Emerson Fittipaldi). The M23 was also driven by MotoGP legend Mike Hailwood who won third place at the 1974 South African Grand Prix. It was also driven by David Hobbs.

All my kits are shrink-wrap sealed, either directly from the factory, or after I've received and inspecting the contents for completeness and condition. I store all my kits in a dry, cool, dark and humidity controlled environment to protect the box and contents from heat, moisture and UV rays. This is especially important for protecting rubber tires and decal sheets. Thank you for visiting my listing!
