The 017/4 was raced by the Tyrrell Racing Organisation during the 1988 and 1989 seasons. One of five chassis used during 1988. Chassis # 4 was a spare for the Monaco Grand Prix and still carries the FIA inspection sticker from its final World Championship event.

Owned and operated since 1996, not a school car. The 3.5 liter Ford Cosworth DFZ is a BOSS-spec Nicholson McLaren unit with about 150 miles on it (expected life before rebuilds in this configuration: 1500-2000 miles), and the dash has been updated to Pi Research System 2, which replaces the rudimentary stock tachometer and single needle combination temp/pressure gauge with complete instrumentation, programmable alarms, a programmable shift light and moderate data acquisition capabilities. Car is set up according to the team’s Jerez settings; testing sheets and setups from the factory are included.

Every component on the car has been tested and replaced as required. New hardware throughout. A no-stories car, this can be driven and/or raced with confidence right now.

Here putting some temperature in the tires:

GREAT looking car!

Thank you, gents, it's a great car and a hoot to drive.

Is this car in the US? If so, why is the asking price in pounds?

Car is in Southern California. It's in Sterling because (my view) most of the natural buyers of a car like this mostly use Sterling as a reference currency.

I don't necessarily agree with that assessment, so for the rest of us who buy things with US dollars in the United States, that currently translates to $163,173.78.

Stunning ! Good luck with the sale.
