Description: MotorsportMemorabilia 1965 Grand Prix commemorative cover signed NINO VACARELLA In 1965, Jim Clark took 6 pole positions and won 6 races against Graham Hill's 4 poles and 2 victories, he also led for over half the laps in the season. Having sorted out the problems from its debut in 1964, the Lotus 33 was clearly dominant, enabling Clark to achieve his second Drivers Championship title and give Lotus the Constructors trophy. Although Hill and Stewart both scored well for BRM, they were denied the Constructors title on the discounted points system. The Honda RA272 won the last race of the season, driven by Richie Ginther; this was Honda's first F1 victory. The Ross Wardle artwork depicts Jim Clark in the Lotus-Climax 33, leading the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, with Graham Hill's BRM P261 and John Surtees in his Ferrari 158. It is rare to see so many F1 Champions in the same picture.>NINO VACARELLA has signed the second special; he was a Sicilian lawyer who competed in four F1 races in the early 1960s, driving the De Tomaso F1 003, Porsche 718, Lotus 24 and Ferrari 158. However, he was far better known for his tremendous success in sports car racing. In 1964 he won 2 major races for Ferrari: the Le Mans 24-hour race co-driving with Guichet and the Nurburgring 1000 km with Scarfiotti. He was adored by local supporters for winning the Targa Florio on 3 occasions. His first win was in 1965, driving for Ferrari with Bandini; the other wins were for Alfa Romeo, 1971 with Hezemans and 1975 Merzario. He also won the Sebring 12-hour race with Mario Andretti.
