From Eoin S.Young in his book McLaren, three M3 were buit:
one for Patsy Burt, the second for Harry Zweifel and the third for the Metro Goldwin Mayer to be used in "Grand Prix".
Merci beaucoup !!!
So the Zweifel car was a Mclaren M3 !!!
...and this one seen at the 1.966 Racing Car Show, was the first Mclaren M3 ???

Does she drove a Mclaren M3 ???Originally posted by Don Capps
Wasn't the Patsy Burt chassis the first one built? Or, perhaps the one usually mentioned first?
Bob Olthoff also drove with a Mclaren M3 (?) at the South African Series in 1.968... Chassis number ???

"Patsy Burt was an old friend of Bruce. The first M3 was for her, the chassis was realized by John Thompson. This car was finished in 15 days with a 4 l. Traco-Olds and ZF gearbox. Dr Harry Zweifel, swiss specialist of hillclimbs, inherited of the second chassis and the third and last one was bought by the MGM.".
The M3 was nicknamed "Whoosh-Bonk" by McLaren works and designed for hillclimbs and sprint races.
