I took this photograph on a visit to the Donington Park Museum in March 1996.
It's the Tyrrell 006 that took
Jackie Stewart to his third and last World Drivers' Championship title in 1973
and has a 2,993cc V8 Ford Cosworth DFV engine. After driving the Tyrrell 005 for
the first two races of the 1973 season in Argentina and Brazil, and finishing
in third and second places respectively, Jackie Stewart drove the Tyrrell 006/2 for
the rest of the season, winning five of the races and the World Drivers'
Championship before the final race of the season in the USA at Watkins Glen. He
had already made his mind up to retire after that race, but after team mate
François Cevert was killed in an accident during practice for that race he
walked away and announced his retirement.
