Re: The six-wheeled Tyrrell during her first practices.

In fact these two photos shows two different chassis!

On b/w photo (car without start number) is THE DEMONSTRATOR - car built on base of old Tyrrell 007 (1974) chassis. This demonstrator was for example not able to drive full distance of race as it had only 1 fuel tank for comparative 007 vs. P34 test laps.

On the full colour photo is the 1st real prototype built as new racing car with 3 fuel tanks during demonstration on Race of Champions 1976. Jody Scheckter made some training laps there but started with old 007 there.

It was the 1976 International Trophy at Silverstone. I know because I was there and I took the photo

Correct - I always confuse these two non-championship races in the beginning of the european season!

Thank you for these interesting informations.
The car that was at the International Trophy, is this the P34/1 that never raced ?
