Scale Models: McLaren History Timeline

Scale models are of course a big part of the any significant collection of automobilia. Auto-Archives has large collections of both McLaren and Lotus models as well as a limited selection of other marques. Shown here are our favorite 1:43 scale McLaren models from the years 1964-2015, plus a couple of Bruce’s earlier racecars, the Austin Seven Special he raced in New Zealand, and the Cooper-Zerex Special he bought from Roger Penske that started Bruce off as a constructor. These are selected from 500 or so models we have in the archive. We are looking for donations of other models to broaden our collection. Do you have any you would like to donate and see them featured on their own pages?

If you are a McLaren fan and would like to see images of the real examples of all these models you need to get a copy of the fabulous book, McLaren the Cars, by William Taylor. It is available on our store. See here:  McLaren Book
