McLaren exibition.

Visited a McLaren exibition at the Louwman Museum in the Hague today, which featured an interesting line-up of several mcLaren Race and road cars from their past and present.

Peter Revson's Can Am winning M8F:

The MP4/5B, driven by Ayrton Senna in ten races during 1990:

Mika Hakkinen's 1994 MP4/9, with the woefully unreliable Peugeot engine:

Another Hakkinen car, this MP4/12 Mercedes in which Mika won his first F1 race at Jerez 1997:

The MP4/13, in which Hakkinen took his first title in 1998:

The 2005 MP4/20A, the last car with West as their main sponsor. This was Juan-Pablo Montoya's car:

The 2008 MP4/23, the year Lewis Hamilton took his first title after that famous last lap in Brazil:

The 2015 McLaren-Honda (GP2 engine, aaarrrrggghh!) MP4/30:

1996 McLaren F1 GTR that competed in Le Mans that year, without success though:

The current track-only P1 GTR:

Great colour on this 675LT Spider:

And while we are at the museum, I'd tried to find a few other interesting racing cars, like this, 1990 Indy 500 winning, Lola-Chevrolet T90/00 driven by our own Arie Luyendyk:

The unsuccesfull Can Am March 707, driven by Chris Amon:

The 1976 March 240/771, an attempt to create a six-wheeled formula 1 car:

And finally this Mercedes SSK, bought new by a British Major in 1929 and which he owned until his death in 2004. All original except for the crank case, but that part was found on another car at the Mercedes museum and reunited with this car.

Is that the car Arie Luyendyk set the fastest all time qualifying lap record at Indy in ? I remember watching that epic moment. NVM, that was 96, my bad.

That was in 1996.

Revson's M8F = Best!
