Can you remove the nose and post a picture of the front bulkhead - I'll see if I can ID it from that.

I´m curious, what are the differences in the front bulkhead, are there alternations between the chassis built?
Will post pictures when I´m in the workshop next time. |

The front bulkhead and to a lesser extent the roll hoop are often the best way to identify a car, in many ways for me they are like a finger print. With all the mounting points around the bulkhead, it is rare for them to remain the same year on year. Its unlikely that you will find any/much variation around a front bulkhead or roll hoop between chassis 03 or 04 for example as such changes would have required a new crash test. Even with very similar tubs there are usually clear identifiers (ie 024 and 025)
I'm pretty sure I have bulkhead pics of the Tyrrells from that period so it will simply be a case of matching yours to that. My initial thoughts looking at your car in the two pics early on this topic is that your car is a 024, and reading the posts here and having a bit of a guess I'd say it was 024/8, but some better pics would be helpful.

There is a “Tyrrell Racing Organisation” Facebook page which includes some former team members. I have copied the link to this thread in there in the hope that someone else may also have relevant information.

As a start I wanted to post a picture of my car in the current state but have no idea how to do so as none of my pictures are online and therefore no URL.

Thanks for the Input, here we go now.
I´d chosen the 1997 livery because my car carries the complete 025 bodywork and the monocoque alternations. The 1996 Tyrrell 024 livery just wouldn´t look right on that. Main difference now is the wrong nose cone. I´m quite sure my car started life as Tyrrell 024, most likely one of the first three chassis built as from 024-04 onwards the cockpit surrond section is slightly different. |
