This is now SOLD. Search for similar items.

Description:


This car is in perfect race condition. The car has been operated from May 1980 to August 1981 by Tyrrell Racing Organization. Last race was the Austrian GP 1981, when the car was driven by Michele Alboreto Other drivers: Eddie Cheever, Derek Daly, Jean-Pierre Jarier. Even if the car was only 6th in the F1-championship, because Tyrrell did not have the resources needed to be in top position, its design is almost a copy of the Williams FW 07, the most successful car at that time and still in todays FIA Thoroughbred Grand Prix Championship. It has the full potential to be a front running car.

History
