misfiring terribly and looked to be going slower than the Formula Junior

It was chassis 103, and was used only once by Gurney in the Canadian GP.
Otherwise it was raced by Ginther or Scarfiotti.

Thanks for the info Steve - are you sure it wasn't the same vehicle
McLaren raced? Grand Prix who's who (second edition) doesn't give
Chassis nos but does say "in 1967... Bruce was glad to race Gurney's
second Eagle after Ginther's sudden retirement". (Though the book lists
McLaren's vehicle as "Eagle T1G102-Weslake v12" which I can't find
anywhere else - oh for a reference with chassis nos)

Love to see them - tho someone else told me it was actually a '68
Ferrari (very similar). Somehow I missed that.
