Description

Here we offer what is, in reality, one of the world's most iconic, most historic and most collectible racing cars. It wears Chassis # TOO334 - the Formula 3 Tecno 69 in which Peterson launched his world-class career by winning no fewer than 16 races during the 1969 International season – headed by outright victory right here at Monte Carlo in the Formula 3 race supporting the 1969 Monaco Grand Prix...

The story of this great racing car effectively began when Peterson travelled down to Bologna in early 1969 with fellow racing driver and friend Sten Gunnarsson to collect the car. Subsequently the absolutely iconic career-launching Formula 3 Tecno offered here was campaigned by him with great success during the 1969 season, achieving no less than 16 victories. Please see the full list of results for details. Into 1970 this ex-Squadra Robardie Ronnie Peterson Tecno was acquired by fellow-Swede Rolf Skoghag. He drove it into a fifth-place finish first time out at Falkenberg before struggling for the rest of the year. Ronnie Peterson was, in truth, a simply impossible act to follow as can be seen in the full results.

Staffan Svenby, Ronnie's business manager and godfather to his daughter Nina, re-acquired the car from Skoghag in 1971. Staffan had the car restored and it was subsequently displayed at the Ronnie Peterson Museum at his home town of Orebro and more recently at the motor sport college at Ring Knutstorp, inspiring the next generation of motor sport engineers. It was left to Nina after Staffan passed away and is was sold in 2018 directly from Peterson family ownership.
