Presenting a Formula 1
Classic,
the Tyrrell Ford P34 Six-wheeler.
The idea, as designer Derek Gardner tells the story, "...was to
minimize induced drag by reducing lift at the front, and to turn that
small gain into the ability to enter and leave a corner faster."
History repeats itself with superb racing versions of this incredible
F1 machine. Ace driver Jody Scheckter gave the six-wheeler its first
victory on its first outing! - at the Grand Prix of Sweden. Teammate
Patrick Depailler confirmed the superiority of its design by making
the event a one-two finish.
Twice the hardware!
Our miniature replica, designed in grand 1:18 scale, honors
this classic of classics Grand Prix car with unprecedented precision
and attention to detail. Functioning suspension (with no less than 6
genuine coil springs), steering wheel (controlling the 4 front wheels),
actual wire mesh gauze over the velocity stacks, individually cast
exhaust headers, and 6 disc brakes with beautiful cooling ducts are
just some of the features adorning this unique model. The paint finish
and racing graphics - all painted on, no decals - defy anything you've
ever seen or touched - until now!
Experience the quality
When you hold one of these models in your hands, you'll feel
the weight of quality, see the precision in the details and marvel at
the hand applied paint and graphics which have been pushed to a new
industry standard.
