World’s weirdest racing car which is only one of its type in motor sports history is on sale for a staggering £11MILLION

THE world's weirdest racing car is now up for sale with an incredible £11million price tag.

The extraordinary six-wheeler Grand Prix car - the only one of its type in motor racing history - was launched by Brit F1 team Tyrrell nearly 50 years ago.

The unique car caused a motor-racing sensation when it arrived on the grid for the first race in 1976 and proved competitive from the start with driver Ronnie Petersen behind the wheel.

Tyrrell went on to clinch a one-two finish in the Swedish Grand Prix that year.

The Tyrell P34 originally raced during the 1976 and 1977 seasons and this replica was made many years later in 2008.

Now an exact replica of the Tyrrell that turned a concept into a competitive racer is up for sale with specialist Speedmaster based in Yorkshire.

As this particular model - owned by none other than racing legend Jody Scheckter - has never raced it's in "excellent condition."
