To start 2008 we offer you a new model version of the car that many connoisseurs consider the most beautiful Formula 1 car of all time-Dan Gurney's AAR Eagle V-12. Our model is the #4752 1967 Brands Hatch Race of Champions Winner #5 Dan Gurney-Eagle/Gurney-Weslake V-12. This version lacks the cooling slots in the nose for the shock absorbers which were a later feature. As late as the Seventies, there were a number of non-championship events filling the calendar which allowed F2 (and later F5000 or FA) cars to complete the grid. Brands is a challenging course east of London, in my opinion far more exciting than Silverstone, where the British F1 race has been held for the last twenty years. The 1967 London Daily Mail-sponsored event featured the entire F1 circus, with the exception of Lotus, because Lotus failed to reach an agreement with the Mail over starting money. Gurney took the pole and all three heats to score the first win for the Eagle V-12. The field included Richie Ginther in the second Eagle, John Surtees in a Honda, Lorenzo Bandini, Ludovico Scarfiotti, and Chris Amon in Ferraris, Jack Brabham and Denny Hulme in Repco-Brabhams, Mike Spence in a BRM H-16, Jo Siffert, Pedro Rodriguez in Cooper-Maseratis, Bruce McLaren in a McLaren/BRM, plus Jackie Ickx and Jean-Pierre Beltoise in F2 Matra-Cosworths. This was a gorgeous winning car from a romantic and terribly dangerous racing era.
