Formula 1 pictures of 1975

Switzerland GP, Dijon

Good morning all.

At the 1975 Italian GP (https://wookey.forumotion.com/t304p70-race-by-race-1975#8204), I see a picture of Depailler in a spare "4T" Tyrrell 007 (althought actually wearing '4' in the picture). Are we sure this picture is from this race? The car is in 1974 specification (McLaren M23-style sidepods and a wide, visible rollhoop) and the last 1974-spec car, the team spare 007-5, had been in 1975 spec at the British and German GPs a month or two earlier.

Could this picture be from 1974?

Hello Allen!

That is no doubt a 1974 shot. Will be corrected soon. Thank you.

I will try to find a 1975 shot of the T-car. Haven't got one available at the moment sadly

Greetings!

It will be difficult to tell it apart from Depailler's regular car. He only used 007-5 for a while in practice after the engine blew in his regular car on Saturday morning. By this time, it was to the same specification as 007-4 and 007-6.

It often is very difficult.....what you need are close-ups where you can see the details (positioning of rivets etc). Best thing is to have a paddock shot with all three of the cars....but it's fun to search for those shots
