The M7a was a masterpiece, being the first F1 car to use the \"bathtub\" style chassis construction that would become de rigeur until the late 1970s; it was made of aerospace-grade aluminium, so was stronger and safer than its rivals; and it pioneered aerodynamic developments that were soon copied by rivals. The M7a was so good that it delivered McLaren - both team and driver - their first F1 victory as well as its first 1-2 finish (Hulme-McLaren) at Watkins Glen later that year. McLaren finished the season an unthought-of 2nd place in the Constructors' Championship. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally rendered in pencil and pastel by fine artist Mark J Davey, this piece is reproduced using specialist, fine art giclee printing methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Size including 5mm border 260mm x 198mm (10.24\"x7.8\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: These small unlimited versions do not come with border details or certificate unless requested.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark J Davey Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59025067409733,"sku":null,"price":29.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/6737\/7989\/files\/MclarenM7SmallGicleePrint.png?v=1787929919","url":"https:\/\/markjdaveyart.com\/products\/mclaren-m7a-with-bruce-mclaren-at-the-wheel","provider":"Mark J Davey Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
