Thanks
to David Gittens, the Ikenga's designer, for the information
below.
The Ikenga MKII was the second of three designs, all of which
were based on the McLaren M1B tubular chassis. These were the
last of the tube chassis before the M6s which were monocoque.
The photo shown is from a 1969 cover photo feature in Car &
Driver magazine.
The MKl, MKII, and MKIII were 1967,1968, and 1969 concepts with
the latter being the most successful having been featured in
Paris and at the Turin Auto Show in the autumn of 1969 and the
Swedish auto show in March of 1970.
