‘World’s weirdest car’ is jet-powered hunk of CHEESE sold for £14k on Facebook
The unique car caused a motor-racing sensation when it arrived on the grid for the first race in 1976 and proved competitive from the start with driverThe Tyrell P34 originally raced during the 1976 and 1977 seasons and this replica was made many years later in 2008.
Swede Peterson helped in the development of the car but was tragically killed two years later in an opening lap crash in the Italian Grand Prix that turned his car into a fireball.Now an exact replica of the Tyrrell that turned a concept into a competitive racer is up for sale with specialist Speedmaster based in Yorkshire.The second set of rubber would make up for the tinier size's reduced contact patch.
Scheckter's car appears to have been built to 1976 specs, going by the brake-cooling NACA ducts on the front wing.Since this P34 isn't a genuine race-used item, the new buyer has less of a reason to keep it locked away and more incentive to take it for a spin.
