Chaparral McLaren M-12

Chaparral McLaren M-12 made by Solido with P/N: 176 and modified by me. (see Chaparral McLaren M-12 built from a McLaren M8B for more details). Changes included a different rear back facia and air deflector, a different layout of the top of the rear cowling that included 2 openings facing rearward, and a different windshield and cockpit layout.
Although this is not a Chaparral it was raced by Jim Hall's drivers until the Chaparral 2H was available.
