DESCRIPTION
Chevron Cars Ltd.was founded by the late British engineer, Derek Bennett, in 1965 and became famous for producing world class Formula 2, Formula 5000 and sports racing cars over many years. He was particularly successful at building Group 4/5 sports racing cars featuring two litre BMW, Ford and Hart engines which competed and won Internationally with famed Works drivers of the day such as Brian Redman.
This particular Chevron B31 two-litre sports racing car won the HSCC Martini Sportscar Trophy as recently as 2013 when driven by the very rapid James Dodd taking four outright wins in the '13 series. The car has been professionally maintained during the Dodd family ownership and comes to the sale refreshed and ready to race.
The car has been well developed during their ownership and the 'Anderson Racing' Hart 420R, coupled to a J and P Hewland FG 400 transaxle are both recently rebuilt. The car is a consistent front runner and is well known for being both reliable and highly competitive. It has current FIA HTP and HSCC papers and would be both welcome, and a front runner, in the HSCC Pre 1980 Endurance series. A spares package including a set of wheels, wishbones and dampers are included.
