Chevron B8

These two Chevron B8s were entered in the HSCC Atlantic Computers 2 Litre GT Championship race by Team Lazerlink at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1986.

The one on the left is a 1967 car and was driven in the race by Tim Goss and on the right this 1968 car was driven by Richard Dodkins. A total of 44 Chevron B8s were built powered by different 4 cylinder 2 litre engines including Ford Cosworth FVA, BMW F10 and  Coventry Climax FVF.

Chevron

The Chevron Car Company was founded in 1965 by Mancunian Derek Bennett, starting off in Salford and later moving to Bolton. It's no surprise then that meetings at nearby Oulton Park (about 40 miles away) attract a large number of Chevron cars at appropriate meetings. Here are some of the cars of this marque that took part in the European Sports Prototype Trophy races at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2004. The photographs were taken at the Foulstons chicane.
