Eagle T1G
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Eagle Mk1.
The Eagle Mk1, commonly referred to as the Eagle T1G, was a Formula Oneracing car, designed by Len Terry for Dan Gurney's Anglo American Racers team. The Eagle, introduced for the start of the 1966 Formula One season, is often regarded as being one of the most beautiful Grand Prix cars ever raced at the top levels of international motorsport. Initially appearing with a 2.7L Coventry Climax inline 4-cylinder engine, the car was designed around a 3.0L Gurney-WeslakeV12 which was introduced after its first four races. In the hands of team boss Gurney, the Eagle-Weslake won the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix, making Dan Gurney only the second driver at the time, and one of only three to date (along with Jack Brabham and Bruce McLaren), to win a Formula One Grand Prix in a car of their own construction.
