Chevron B17C and Lotus 69

This is a photograph that I took in the paddock at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2005.

On the left is the 1970 Chevron B17C of Ray Davies, a Formula 2 car which took part in the Open Wheeled Chevron Race. It is chassis F2-70-2 and has a 1600cc Ford twin cam engine. The car on the right is Andy Middlehurst’s 1971 Lotus 69, a car designed to be used in Formula 2, Formula 3 and Formula Ford racing. This car had a 1600cc engine in accordance with the Formula 2 regulations in 1971 - probably the Ford twin cam. The Lotus 69 was also used in Formula B racing in the United States.

It's Michael Schryver's 1971 Lotus 69. The Lotus 69 was designed to be used in Formula 2, Formula 3 and Formula Ford racing - this car had a 1600cc engine and looks to have been designed for Fomula 2 racing. The Lotus 69 was also used in Formula B racing in the United States, and this website details one such car.
