Amon's 1967 312 in Forza:

If you don't already get Forza magazine, you may want to pick up the current issue #99 (which has the yellow Novitec 16M on the cover). It has a fine article on 1967 F1 chassis #003, which was driven by Chris Amon on a number of occasions. There is a superb photo of Amon in the car taken at Zandvoort, and plenty of photos showing the car today.

1967 was the last year of "purity" in F1: no wings, no ads, no stickers. Perhaps only the same year's Eagle-Weslake looked better than the Ferrari; I don't think that even the Lotus 49 could match its perfect look, including the gold wheels and "bundle of snakes" exhausts. Too bad it didn't go as fast as it looked!

And there is also a very poignant photo of Bandini in the sister car at Monaco, coming into Tabac just ahead of former teammate Surtees' Honda, and with the spot of his imminent demise visible in the distance.....

 

I wonder why they didn't stick with the streamlined side-mirror fairing later in the season, especially since its effect at faster circuits might have been more noticeable.

I hope that someone does the '67 car in a 1/18 die-cast someday. (CMC, GMP, are you listening?)
