Bruce McLaren Trust
In July 1990 a small memorial trust had been formed to honour Bruce. Upon its closure in 1995, it was realised by the McLaren family and Ross Jensen that there was a need for a permanent trust.
In response to repeated demands to commemorate Bruce McLaren's achievements and honour him as one of New Zealand's international heroes, the new Trust was formed by Ross Jensen and Bruce's younger sister Jan McLaren.
The Bruce McLaren Trust was publicly launched at Wings and Wheels, Whenuapai, Auckland in March 1997.
The Trust operates from the former McLaren Service Station where Bruce once lived as a small boy and where his father Les McLaren taught Bruce basic engineering skills that enabled a famous but relatively short career to begin. Visitors are welcomed at the Trust which is located above Remuera Upland Motors, 590 Remeura Road, Auckland, New Zealand.
The overall purpose of the Bruce McLaren Trust has always been to be a living working memorial to Bruce McLaren and the McLaren Team heritage.
