1975 Tyrrell-Ford-Cosworth 007

Offered by RM Sotheby’s | Monaco | May 2024

Here’s another Tyrrell Formula 1 car. This sale also has a re-creation of the team’s famous six-wheeler. The 007 was actually the car that was used right before the P34 (the six-wheeler) debuted. The 007 was on the F1 grid from 1974 through 1977 with various teams.

Power is provided by a 3.0-liter Ford-Cosworth DFV V8. This car, chassis 007/06, has the following competition history:

1975 French Grand Prix – 9th (with Jody Scheckter)
1975 British Grand Prix – 3rd (with Scheckter)
1975 German Grand Prix – 14th, DNF (with Scheckter)
1975 Austrian Grand Prix – 8th (with Scheckter)
1975 Italian Grand Prix – 8th (with Scheckter)
1975 United States Grand Prix – 6th (with Scheckter)
1976 Brazilian Grand Prix – 5th (with Scheckter)
1976 South African Grand Prix – 4th (with Scheckter)
1976 United States Grand Prix West – 13th, DNF (with Scheckter)
1976 Spanish Grand Prix – 16th, DNF (with Scheckter)

After that, the car was purchased by privateer driver Otto Stuppacher, who managed to not qualify or start three races later in 1976. It went hillclimbing in 1979 and 1980 and later made it’s way into the collection of Jody Scheckter. It now has an estimate of $700,000-$950,000. Click here for more info.
