The McLaren M23 recorded 3 wins for a fine maiden grand prix season in 1973, and in 1974 three M23s joined the starting grid. The Yardley Team McLaren ran in a splendid white livery which featured the British cosmetic company Yardley's Y logo in black, gold and brown on its nose fairing. With renowned motorcycle racing champion Mike Hailwood at the wheel, the car took a third place podium finish at the South African GP, and combined with the two Marlboro McLaren cars to bring McLaren their first constructor's championship.
