*waits for DaveEllis and his shipment of fail*

if my memory don´t fail (and it´s probably it does ) in 1972 was an Eiffeland with only 1 mirror, and it was placed just in front of the nose of the driver (Rolf Stommelen i tihnk)

There was also a car with an ENORMOUS (and quite hidious) airbox (a Wolf maybe?).

But the six-wheeler is still the strangest I've ever seen.

Which one? The Tyrrell? The Ferrari one must have been some sight to those who witnessed it. Can you imagine if someone tried something like that today? :D

I guess the Merc 196s have to rate pretty high. Awesome, but to this day very strange in F1 terms.

Dunno if it was a Tyrell, have there been more six-wheelers?

Yup, and their first version of the car was even more strange:
