There was also a 67 Ferrari 312 there, but that was a static display in the paddock only :( Strange, it didn't have the silly mirrors you have in GPL, but sensible ones. I got some piccies of it, and in the process on doing my website to put them up on. Gavin 'Sharknose' Thomas

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

Thanks Mark, some nice pictures there. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C. GPLRank -4.30 Come see how you rank, at the GPLRank site http://gplrank.schuerkamp.de/

Thanks Mark, I was there too but I haven't got my films developed yet. The Eagle was in beautiful condition and I was annoyed that I didn't manage to get a shot of it when it was racing. The other beauty was the 1.5 litre Lotus. Tony Whitley Mark Croasdale <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8lo471$dgo$[email hidden]...

Pardon granted, I have had to look in the programme myself. It's a 1968 3 litre Cooper Alfa Romeo T86C owned and driven by Ron Maydon (GB). Lovely isn't it? The paint job is reminiscent of Bonnier's Cooper in (my version) of GPL. Mark Croasdale ICQ 21549408 Ed Solheim <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:TIUf5.22954$[email hidden]...

On Saturday, driving it was all he could do as opposed to racing it, it was misfiring terribly and looked to be going slower than the Formula Junior cars. Not much of a spectacle, much better when he drove the Audi saloon with some lucky **** who'd one a competition to sit in the passenger seat.

Yes, chassis 102 was McLarens car, which he drove in France, Britain, and Germany, retiring on each occasion. And I have just found that Gurney took over 103 from Ginther at Monaco when Ginther failed to qualify. Steve Richard G Clegg wrote in message <8lpm9o$e44$[email hidden]>...

Maybe you can answer a question which has been bugging me since the magazine article on these two cars from a couple months ago. What the hell is tie-wrapped to the left side of the roll bar on the Eagle? Don McCorkle
