Re: McLaren homage to the A7

It is curious that for a UK audience the purchase price was given in dollars when pounds was the currency here then. And when commenting on the narrow tyres he could have drawn attention to the front ones; a lot of GP tyres of the time were not much bigger than the rears.
For comparison our RP was worth about L200 immediately post war, and about L50 in 1957, when a new Minx was L870. NZ wages were somewhat higher than UK.
