McLaren M24 Chassis History

[Sweaty Teddy]

I saw an M24 at the Donington Park Collection in the First National City livery back in 2017. The museum has sadly since closed so I don't know the current whereabouts of it. I'll kick myself for not having taken more photos - the Senna cars and PC27 were distracting (and more of my era).

I visited the Donington Grand Prix Collection back in 2005. What a museum.

Out of all the McLarens they had on display at that time, the only Indianapolis car I recall seeing in that section was the Carl Williams M15.

Slowly but surely, we are inching closer to understanding the McLaren M24s. I am very grateful to everyone who has posted information here, especially "Pelican Joe".

Although there are still a number of issues to resolve, I have posted a review on OldRacingCars.com of where we have reached.

Great stuff, Allen. Thank you for pulling all of this information together. It seems like a lifetime ago that we started this conversation, but it's really great seeing the pieces falling into place.

The car Sneva is pictured with is M24B-002, which went to Wayne Woodward and John O’Hanlon in 1980. The car still sported remnants of its 1979 Budweiser livery. They had quite a few drivers in the car.

Yes he did. Cliff Hucul drove it at Milwaukee in 1980 (the last CART race I attended) and he did right well with it too...qualified 12th and ran 7th. Split the Sneva brothers, in fact.
