Surtees TS16

This car competed in the class for 1972 - 1977 Formula 1 cars at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting of August 2001.
It's Chris Perkins' 1975 V8 Cosworth-engined 2,993cc Surtees TS16. The TS16 was campaigned by the Surtees team during the 1974 and 1975 seasons, but suffered a string of retirements and low placings, the best being a 4th place in the 1974 Brazilian Grand Prix by Carlos Pace. You can read here the full racing record of the car pictured above, chassis TS16/02, which is the car he drove in that race.
