The 1970 Formula 3 Chevron B17 was a development of the B15 with a stiffened centre section, new uprights and a tidied engine cover and Jürg Dubler and Peter Hanson both won major F3 races in this model using Novamotor engines. Dubler got the season off to a good start with a win at Montjuich Park in April, and Hawthorne beat a strong British national field at Brands Hatch in May. Later in the season, Hanson won an International at Karlskoga and Dubler won the high-profile Zandvoort race at the end of August. Both Barrie Maskell and newcomer Chris Skeaping took their B17s to victory in significant British races.

This Chevron B17 was bought by David Wood in Florida who paid $3,400 for it before it was subsequently purchased by our vendor whilst working in the USA for Lola race cars and raced by him over there before bringing it back to the UK. It's been fully rebuilt with a new chassis as the original had been chopped by 10
