1988 Tyrrell 017/4 Formula One for sale

[ralt12]

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?

[ralt12]

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.
