MotorsportMemorabilia 1963 Grand Prix commemorative cover signed DAN GURNEY

Although the BRM P57 started the 1963 season well, Jim Clark quickly took charge, winning 7 out of the 10 races, having gained 7 pole positions and led for 506 of the 708 laps. Clark easily won the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships with Graham Hill and Richie Ginther tying for second place, both in the BRM P57. An astounding 14 race wins in the 1962-65 period, all with Jim Clark at the wheel, confirmed the Lotus 25 as the Formula 1 car of the 60s. The artwork for this season depicts Jim Clark being hounded by Dan Gurney at East London. 

The third special envelope is signed by the famous American Driver / Constructor, DAN GURNEY who had very successful careers both as a racing driver and race car manufacturer / team owner. In Formula 1 he competed with Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jack Brabham, Jackie Stewart, John Surtees, Denny Hulme and Stirling Moss. He is unique in being the only American to have won a Formula 1 race in a car of his own construction. He competed widely in all types of motor sport and was the first driver to win races in four major categories: Grand Prix; IndyCar; NASCAR and Sports Car. His second career as a race manufacturer of Eagle cars, as well as owner of All American Racers (AAR), started whilst he was still competing as a driver.  On retirement he bought out his AAR co-founder, Carroll Shelby and has been designing and manufacturing racing cars ever since. His cars achieved great success, winning numerous national championships and races, including the much prized Indy 500. Dan Gurney was one of the original founders of Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART). Amongst a long list of motor racing firsts, he achieved the initial F1 win for Porsche, Brabham and Eagle, as well as the first win for Shelby Cobra and the first Can-Am victory for Ford.
