Gurney one-off drives

Hi- I am new to the site and really enjoy it. I am researching some unusual/one-off drives of Dan Gurney, and need some help finding details (such as car #, finishing position, etc) and hopefully photos.

1955 he drove his own Triumph in some local Southern California races

In 1956 he won some races in his own Porsche Speedster; not sure what it looked like

In Sept 957 he won a Production race in a Corvette owned by Cal Bailey; believe it was #4

In Sept 1958 at Watkins Glen he finished second to Bonnier in #3, a Ferrari 290MM; it was NART owned but not sure if red or blue

May 1958 he had one drive at Tracy, CA in the John Edgar Maserati 450S; it was #198

Feb 1960 he raced a Team Camoradi Maserati 200, #15 at the Cuban GP; not sure if it was in the usual Camoradi white w/blue stripes

late 1962 he may or may not have driven a Lotus 23 in a couple of sports car races in England; I have found conflicting info

In early 1963 he drove a Lotus 23 at Nassau Speedweeks; no further info

In June 1963 he drove a Cooper Monaco Ford at the Players 200 at Mosport; car #44, not sure what it looked like

In March 1964 he drove a Lotus Cortina in the Sebring 4-hour race as a teammate to Jim Clark

Finally, in May 1964 he drove a lightweight Jaguar E-type at Silverstone in a support race for the British GP; it was the car w/4WPD registration but i have no idea on its number.


I realize this is quite a list, so any help on any of these entries would be greatly appreciated. If you would prefer to use e-mail, please do so.
