Description: MotorsportMemorabilia 1966 Grand Prix commemorative cover signed CHRIS AMON Brabham continued to build on its initial success in the 1967 season with the proven BT19 & 20 models staring the season and the new BT24 taking over. Denny Hulme and Jack Brabham each won 2 races but Hulme took the Drivers title by 5 points; the Brabham team easily won the Contructors championship. Despite the Lotus 49 taking a staggering 9 pole positions with its new Cosworth engine, and even with Jim Clark winning 4 races, he could only manage third place in the championship. Dan Gurney drove his own Eagle T1G to the company's one and only victory and John Surtees in the RA300 gained Honda's second win. The Ferrari 312 in the hands of Chris Amon achieved 4 podium finishes to gain him equal fourth place in the championship. The 1967 cover shows the 2 Brabham cars at the German Grand Prix with Chris Amon's Ferrari in third place. The third special cover has been autographed by the famous New Zealand driver CHRIS AMON who started racing a Maserati 250F when just 18; he impressed Reg Parnell so much that he enlisted him into his F1 team in 1963 when he was only 19 years old. He drove the Lola well in the first season and scored points with the Lotus 25 in 1964. He had lean F1 seasons in 1965 / 66, driving Lotus and Brabham and Cooper F1 cars but won at Le Mans with Bruce McLaren in a Ford GT40. He drove for Ferrari from 1967 to 1969 and achieved 6 podium places. He also won the 1967 Daytona 24-hour and Monza 1000 km races for Ferrari and encouraged them to enter the Tasman Cup Series, winning 2 races in 1968 and taking the championship in 1969. For 1970 he raced for March and scored a creditable 23 points in F1 and winning the International Trophy at Silverstone. Two years with Matra followed; he scored points in both years and won the non-championship Argentine GP. From 1973-76 he raced F1 for Techno, Tyrrell, his own Amon cars, BRM and Ensign achieving the occasional placing. He is one of the highest points scorers in F1 never lucky enough to have won a championship race We usually have lots of other items up for sale so why not have a look
