Cooper Cars considered building two special cars specifically for Bruce McLaren to compete in the 1964 Tasman series. After Cooper decided it was too costly and too much work, Bruce and Mayer brothers, Timmy the driver and Teddy the manager, established Bruce McLaren Racing Ltd to build the cars and race them. The cars created in his shop were a tremendous success, earning him his first victory in the New Zealand Grand Prix and the series championship.
The acquisition of Roger Penske's Zerex Special was the next step. The car was a modified F1 Cooper and powered by a 2.7-liter Climax four-cylinder unit. It was later fitted with a 215 cubic-inch Traco-modified Oldsmobile aluminum block V8.
The McLaren MK1 was built in time for the late season North American races. Power was from the Traco Olds which now displaced 4.5-liters. The competition was fierce, with strong teams from both Europe and North America. The McLaren car encountered a throttle linkage problem but rallied to finish third overall and established the lap record. cooling hose issues were responsible for the teams DNF's at Riverside and Laguna Seca.
The McLaren M1 was a very competitive and capable car. Teddy Mayer soon reaelized that a customer version of the car could provide additional income for hte team. Not wanting to over-work the Feltham McLaren shop, the team struck a deal with Frank Nichols who had joined Peter Agg's Trojan Group to re-estalish Elva cars. Elva would build customer cars for McLaren which were designated McLaren-Elvas.
The Elva-built McLarens were called the MK 1A and powered by a variety of powerplants. They had a simple and straightforward design with a frame based on three main tubes incorporating a multi-tubular space frame structured. At all four corners were an independent suspension with widely spaced pickups for the front upper wishbones. The rear had reversed lower wishbones, single upper links and parallel radius rods. Springing was by coil springs and tubular shocks. The gearbox was a Hewland transaxle. The body design was courtesy of Tony Hilder.
This recently restored MK1A was originally raced by Hammond, Indiana driver Ralph Salyer. Gene Crowe was his mechanic. Salyer named the car the 'Cro-Sal Special.'
removed spring loaded shooters from model. redesigned landing gear layout to one side (inspired by the A-10 Warthog :) )
Bryan Yen (not pictured) modified one of the gifts he gave to the office last Christmas. It was only now that we remembered to show it in action.
Had a "broken" Ricoh R10 (It won't zoom after a day on the beach, bummer). Which I've modified with 3 cords. One for ground (brown), for the focus (yellow) and the trigger (red). If i short out the cords to ground it either focus or takes a picture. Quite simple.
Though the first experiments haven't yet gone as I hoped they would. I was hoping that just stacking a transistor in the middle of a cord and ground would work as a trigger - didn't. Tried a FET instead. Didn't work either. Problem is the FET/Transistor is working as a diode and pulls the trigger to ground, causing the camera to take a picture as soon as I hook it up.
Will experiment further.
Seen at the 2011 Jack Roush Day show in Manchester, Ohio. The modification is powered by a Chevrolet engine.
I modified these Pentax K-mount (KR) full frame manual lenses, a 50mm and 28mm macro, to fit my EF mount Canon EOS camera.
You can clearly see the protrusion on the lens on the left; this was preventing the mirror moving fully and half a dark frame was the result. Removing this makes them work.
They've been in my loft for 10 years along with my Ricoh KR-10 35mm camera, so instead of throwing them away I might as well get some use out of them!
I also have an M42 mount lens; Carl Zeiss Jena DDR MC S 1:3.5 135mm.
This isn't pictures but doesn't need modification; I've ordered a converter for it.

RD7913. Great Western Modified Hall class 4-6-0 7915 MERE HALL awaits its next turn of duty at Hardwick Central on the Great Cockcrow Railway.
Although of a Great Western design by Frederick Hawksworth, the real MERE HALL was not built until 1950 and was thus a British Railways built locomotive. This model of 7915 was built in 1952, only two years after the prototype.
The Great Cockcrow Railway is an impressive and extensive fully signalled 7¼” gauge line near Chertsey in Surrey.
