Russell,
I think that's a genuine M8E. It's only we impoverished Kiwis that build replicas and look alikes!
Note the short cross ram manifold on Brians photos of the #9 M6B. That motor is reputed to have 900 hp and is listed as 6600cc. Not knowing anything about Chevs, I wouldn't care to comment on the veracity of those figures but it had heaps more straight line grunt than the others.
Below is a pic of an M1B body that is going to be built up as a fully correct car. Apparently an original chassis has been located in the States for it and the McLaren Trust has supposedly given it's blessing to this project. A long way to go I fear.
