1977 Wolf WR1 (chassis WR3)

Chassis constructed for the team's inaugural season; used as a works entry driven by Jody Scheckter across multiple championship rounds in 1977 and at Long Beach early in 1978.

Purchased directly from the Wolf team; entered in selected Formula 1 rounds and subsequently campaigned in the British F1 Championship through the 1979 and 1980 seasons.

A collector who assembled two Wolf cars plus a replica; undertook a full rebuild for the HSCC F1 series, completed by 1987, and performed a further complete rebuild including the monocoque following a 1989 accident.

Raced the car personally and with co-entrant John Wilson in HSCC F1 competition before selling to Scheckter.

Acquired by the car's original period driver; maintained in running order and used in low-speed demonstrations including multiple appearances at CarFest South.

Chassis WR3's competitive debut; runner-up behind James Hunt in a McLaren at Brands Hatch.

WR3 used by Scheckter during practice only at Monte Carlo; race entry was a different chassis.

WR3's final 1977 outing at Fuji; Scheckter set fastest lap and ran 2nd early on but persistent understeer forced him to settle for 10th.

Qualified 4th and led early before tyre changes dropped positions; retired with engine trouble, a recurring fuel pick-up issue that arguably cost Scheckter the title.

Engine difficulties all weekend compromised pace; Scheckter was pushed into barriers by Clay Regazzoni, ending his race at Dijon-Prenois.

Started from 8th and climbed toward a podium position before spinning while attempting to lap a backmarker at Österreichring.

WR3 pressed into service at Long Beach while the newer car was unready; Scheckter ran in the top 10 until contact with Patrick Tambay ended his race.

Entered by Theodore Racing; Rosberg cleared pre-qualifying and completed an uneventful race at Hockenheim for his best championship result that year.

Second Formula 1 start for WR3 under Theodore Racing; Rosberg finished but was not awarded a championship classification.

Race-winning debut for WR3 in domestic British F1 competition with Theodore Racing.

WR3 competed regularly in the hands of multiple drivers including Geoff Lees, Val Musetti, Kevin Cogan, and Desiré Wilson; a chassis-damaging accident occurred with Musetti at Oulton Park in June 1979.

Continued regular competition under Theodore Racing with the same group of drivers as the prior season.

WR3 used in low-speed demonstration runs on several occasions while in Scheckter's ownership.

Following an accident at Oulton Park while in Val Musetti's hands, the car underwent a complete chassis rebuild.

Incident occurred during the 1979 British F1 Championship season.

A full rebuild was carried out to prepare WR3 for the newly established HSCC F1 series; the work was commissioned by John Fenning but only completed in 1987, several years after purchase.

Fenning acquired the car in 1982; the rebuild was finally finished in 1987.

After an accident in 1989, the car was comprehensively rebuilt, including replacement or reconstruction of the monocoque.

Work carried out while under John Fenning's ownership.

Since entering Jody Scheckter's collection, WR3 has been kept in running demonstration order, maintained to a standard that allows participation in low-speed display events.

Ongoing maintenance post-1997; specific dates not recorded in the catalogue.
