Chassis:
The fourth 007 built by Tyrrell, this car was raced by Patrick Depailler from the Canadian Grand Prix in September of 1974 through to United States Grand Prix West in March of 1976. Although in its third season of racing, 007/4s best results were actually scored in the first months of 1976 with a second in Brazil and a third at its final outing as a Team Tyrrell car. Shortly threre after, it was sold to Italian privateer Alessandro Pesenti-Rossi. He re-finished the car in Gulf colours and entered it in four Grands Prix during the summer of 1976. The best result was an 11th place finish in the Austrian Grand Prix. After the Italian Grand Prix, it was retired from contemporary racing. Subsequent owners restored the car to its factory colours and in this guise, it was regularly raced in historic events. During the early 2010s, it fittingly joined the ROFGO Collection as it was the only Grand Prix car ever finished completely in Gulf colours. For the 2018 Monaco Historic Grand Prix, 007/4 was re-liveried once again in the Gulf colours as used by Pesenti-Rossi during the 1976 season.
