Description

Hello!
John Cannon Commander Motor Homes chassis. Not the Revson chassis, built by Commander for Laguna Seca. Commander then qualified the car at Laguna and Riverside but decided to use the M20 instead. Complete chain of ownership, and extensive paperwork in the possession of our client for review at the time of viewing of the car! Excellent winning chassis.
McLaren M8F of John Cannon. This was an exceptional "no-expense-spared" restoration by Tony Nicholson. This chassis is among a very small group of tier 1 restorations, as nice as the Hulme/ McLaren papaya cars, our Alan Mann Open Sports Ford package, and a few others....... here is a bit of info;

** The roll hoop is Denny Hulmes and is titanium.
** The valve covers are the real deal magnesium McLaren valve covers.
** Engine is 540 cu in.   11. 0:1 compression.   Period correct ZL-1 heads, not the cheater heads.   Dyno :   868HP at 6, 500   750 ft lbs torque. 
** Tub is the Trojan tub….. 1973.   Proof is the wall thickness and the rivets….
** Commander put M20 parts on this car, the uprights are M20.  Rims are M20 and I had to have them custom made.   
** Shocks are Konis and are correct as are the brakes on this car.  
We set up the shipping logistics for over 90% of our sales worldwide, we are happy to help!
