Have you tried this? Google is scanning books and letting us search these scans. For example I entered "McLaren Hulme" into the search window and the results included these titles:

Can-Am Cars: 1966-1974 Auto Champions
by David McKinney - Sports & Recreation - 1999 - 112 pages

Can-Am
by Pete Lyons - Sports & Recreation - 1999 - 192 pages

Gt 40: An Individual History and Race Record
by Ronnie Spain - Transportation - 2003 - 336 pages

Cooper Cars
by Doug Nye - Transportation - 2003 - 400 pages

Mario Andretti
by Michael O'Leary - Biography & Autobiography - 2002 - 192 pages

Chevrolet Racing: Fourteen Years of Raucous Silence!, 1957-1970
by Paul Van Valkenburgh - Sports & Recreation - 2000 - 330 pages

How to Hotrod Big-Block Chevys
by Bill Fisher - Transportation - 1987 - 160 pages

Driving in Competition
by Alan Johnson - Sports & Recreation - 1973

Click on a title and you get to see a scan of the page from that book with the words McLaren and Hulme, plus a couple pages either side of that page. You are limited to seeing just a few pages at a time, and when searching for driver's names as in my example, often the page which comes up is an index page or race results. But with a little imagination, perhaps you could crawl through a whole book...

It's helpful to have a "Google account" such as gmail, there seems to be greater access to pages if you are logged in.

Take a look at what's there. I think it will be a good research tool.
