The GPL67 mod is a firm favourite for a lot of people -- eleven cars from the 1967 Formula One season brought to AC from a variety of earlier sources. Unfortunately the mod is showing its age in many respects. One car which has always bothered me a little is the McLaren M5A, with a single low resolution skin doing little to hide quite a few bugs in the underlying model. Boosted Media did a video with a grid walkthrough for these cars; you can see what I mean at about the 5m:20s mark.
Only one of these cars was made, and it ran in just the final four races of the '67 season: Canada, Italy, the United States and Mexico. I wasn't able to find much in the way of reference photos from Watkins Glen, but the web has some nice pics for how the car looked in the other three, so that's what I've prepared here. There's still quite a few inaccuracies, but at least some I can blame on errors or shortcomings of the model. If anyone's got decent pictures of the car at Watkins they can share with me, please leave a comment in the discussion and I might find time one day to add a fourth livery here.

Thanks and shout out to @Pasta2000 who lent me some lovely numerals, and helped me nit-pick various details.
