1972 McLaren M21 - M21 Formula 2

Mitchell Curated are delighted to offer:

McLaren-Ford M21, chassis M21-3 (as assigned by McLaren), built by Trojan for Astor Club Racing International.

One of just three M21s known to exist today, an ultra-low volume model from McLaren in the run up to their first F1 World Championship.

Raced by Steve Prior in British Formula Atlantic and Indylantic competition during 1975 and 1976.

Restored in the late 1990s by Kerry Adams alongside Jody Scheckter’s sister M21 chassis

Successfully campaigned in US historic racing by James King since 2012, achieving regular podium finishes.

Powered by a 2.0-litre alloy-block Cosworth BDG engine producing close to 300bhp, with approximately five hours running time since built by Teran Motorsports.

Resplendent in Papaya Orange, M21-3 retains its original chassis and even the original 1971-dated Marston fuel cells, inspected annually, and part of the Petersen Automotive Museum’s ‘The Color of Success’ Papaya McLaren exhibition in 2022.

A highly rare addition for any McLaren collection while also being track eligible in Historic Formula 2 events around the world.
