Description: MotorsportMemorabilia 1971 Grand Prix commemorative cover signed HOWDEN GANLEY Jackie Stewart in the Tyrrell 003 retired early in the Italian GP but had already won his second Drivers' Championship. The race produced an exceptionally close finish with 5 cars crossing the line within 0.6 seconds. Peter Gethin, BRM P160 (No 18) won the race, followed by Ronnie Peterson, March 711 (No 25), Francois Cevert, Tyrrell 002 (No 2), Mike Hailwood, Surteees TS9 (No 9) and Howden Ganley, BRM P160 (No 19). Ross Wardle has captured the excitement of this unique race for our 1971 cover. HOWDEN GANLEY a talented New Zealand driver has signed the second special. He started life in motor sport as an engineer but his urge to drive was not satisfied until 1967 when he took up F3 racing in a self-financed Brabham. In 1970 he drove a private McLaren M10B to compete in F5000 and finished runner up to Peter Gethin. He joined BRM as a junior driver for the 1971 season finishing well in 5 races and gaining points at Monza and Watkins Glen. Further F1 points were scored for BRM in 1972, at the Nurburgring and Osterreichring plus a most creditable second place in the Le Mans 24-hour race in a works Matra. For 1973, Ganley joined Williams in their first season of Formula 1; he had no success with the FX3B but scored a point in the 1R, coming sixth at Mosport Park. In his final season of F1, he drove for March and Maki until an accident caused him to retire. He maintains his links with motor sport as a director of the British Racing Drivers' Club. We are extremely pleased to have Howden Ganley's support as his BRM P160 is featured on the cover We usually have lots of other items up for sale so why not have a look
