I think he means Harry Mathews:

But it looks like they've sold off most of the McLarens since their book came out.

Sorry Rod not trying to big note you know that,Harry is a real good bloke four of us stayed with him some years back ,he and two boys ran their can am cars at Road America,he had or has hopefully still has the most McLarens including the coupe plus Ferraris ,hot rods ,he loves his hot rods,at the time 13 McLarens sat in each one ,not that easy to get out of some of then,needed arms twice as long to reach the ground so as not to damage them,.He lives up above Denver we were taken up to see Buffalo Bills muesem{I think thats correct} way up in the mountain,wild deer roam beside his home,.He made his money making car wash machines,He sent me out his book on his cars,plus he has been a great help to the Bruce McLaren Trust
Sorry did not know first name, but what a collection. Yes thats it, the http://www.mathewscollection.com/collection_history.htm, what a site. Can/will spend hours going over it.
You are one very lucky person to have gone there Jim.
Lucky yes but the weather there real violent ,missed out on a tornad at the track ,when one comes they have everyone under the track where it passes over itself,looking at the clouds 4 layers going in 4 directions rather scary,prefer Laguna Seca anyday
Sad to say Harry got caught out with some money loss and has sold most of his cars,hard to believe but thats life I guess
That more then anything reveals the passion that the current McLaren people have for the McLaren heritage. And it just seems such a McLaren thing to do...no pats on the back, just a "that's the last thing they'll expect, let's do it!" expression of celebration.
One of my favourite youtube clips I never tire of listening too.
At last ... the model we've all been waiting for has arrived! Spark's 1:43rd resin model of Bruce's #2 McLaren M1A from Riverside 1964.

Hi , I live just across the road from where Bruce is buried and I tend his grave when it needs it.
Although nothing has changed on his headstone , it has been nicely restored with gold lettering etc in the last few years.
Bruce's mum and dad are buried in the next plot over and next to them , Bruce's sister Pat and her husband.
The grave is almost never without flowers , especially on Bruce's birthday and anniversary of his death.
I do believe that in 1970 his family didn't want a flash descriptive headstone - they were very humble, down to earth people.
