Limited to just 504 pieces. Personally autographed by Dan Gurney on the display base.\u003cbr\u003eThe Eagle Mk1 (T1G) is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful Formula One cars ever built — Len Terry's clean beak-nosed monocoque paired with Aubrey Woods' shrieking Weslake V-12. In Gurney's hands, this was the car that won the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, making him the second driver in F1 history to win a Grand Prix in a car of his own construction. This particular variant depicts the #9 chassis as it appeared at the 1967 German GP at the Nürburgring — same iconic Weslake V-12, dark metallic blue livery, white nose stripe, and polished exhausts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarousel 1's rendering is superb: correct chassis details, exposed suspension and inboard springs, Weslake V-12 with individual stacks, Goodyear-lettered tires, mesh intake screen, and cockpit detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Mason Distributing exclusive was released in 2003 in a run of only 504 pieces, each personally autographed by Dan Gurney on the diorama base. With Gurney's passing in 2018, personally signed pieces have become increasingly sought-after.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel shows no paint chips, decal lift, or broken parts\u003cbr\u003eExhaust pipes, mirrors, and roll hoop all intact and correctly positioned\u003cbr\u003eDan Gurney autograph on the display base is bold and stable\u003cbr\u003eClear plastic display cover is present and undamaged (removed for photography)\u003cbr\u003eDiorama grass base is clean with no peeling or tears\u003cbr\u003eInner Carousel 1 presentation box is clean, no crushing or writing\u003cbr\u003eOuter white Mason shipper box shows some staining and tab tearing along the top flap edge — structurally sound\u003cbr\u003eCertificate of Authenticity from Mason Distributing Company (signed by Henry Mason) is included and clean\u003cbr\u003eNo dust or wear indicators — appears never displayed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote on packaging: The Mason Distributing exclusive Nürburgring variant was produced using Carousel 1's standard AAR Eagle tooling.
