Can anyone ID the driver and car please. Had some discussions with a couple of mates.......

I think it's a Honda ? but could be an F3 car ?

Is it from the 1966 film Grand Prix ? if so we don't recognise the driver.

Any info please to quench our curiosity.

Thats a McLaren M2B - Driver normally would be Bruce McLaren. He does appear in the credits of the film

I think that's Bruce McLaren driving a 1966 McLaren-Ford in "Yamura" colours. The only 1966 race that McLaren raced with a 2 on the car was the Monaco GP

The engine was a sleeved-down Indycar unit, reduced from 4.2 to 3.0 litres. Another blind alley.
