2008 Chevron B8 BMW FOR SALE with Adam Sykes & Co.
The B8 is widely acknowledged as one of Derek Bennett’s finest designs. Some 44 were produced, helping to establish Chevron as a serious manufacturer of very competitive cars. The model was highly successful worldwide, from clubbies at Oulton Park to class wins in the 1969 BOAC 500 and Daytona 24 Hours. Meanwhile John Lepp’s Red Rose Racing B8 dominated the RAC British Sports Car Championship, winning the 1969 and 1970 titles.
This level of competitiveness has followed through into historic motorsport today, with the B8 being very much the car to have in several series, including HSCC’s Guards Trophy which was won overall by a B8 in 2023. Demand for B8s has been such that continuation cars have been produced for several years, with this example being the first Chevron Heritage endorsed car, being built to entirely original specification using an Arch Motors spaceframe.
Constructed in 2008 the Chevron has been properly maintained and enjoyed considerable success from new. Originally purchased by Alec Hammond and raced competitively by him and Nigel Greensall, with preparation provided by RW Racing Services. Since 2021 the Chevron has been owned by David Forsbrey, with preparation and track-side support from Gelscoe Motorsport.
The Chevron has proven to be a very consistent front-runner and most recently performed superbly in large and competitive HSCC Guards Trophy races at Snetterton (qualified and finished fourth) and Donington Park (qualified fourth and finished third).
Fitted with a strong Lester Owen BMW engine which was rebuilt before the 2023 season and has had 20 hours running since. The gearbox is a Hewland FT200 by PDS Racing using an original type casting. Gelscoe Motorsport meticulously go through the car after every race, and it has proven to be 100% reliable.
Complete with an excellent spares package including wheels, tyres, ratios and an additional long range fuel tank. Also a detailed history file, incorporating maintenance records and a current HTP which expires on 31st December 2025. Ideal for HSCC, Masters and many other high profile series worldwide. Tremendous value for money.

    The most beautiful era of F1. As a younger person I can only live vicariously through the footage that survives and the stories I hear from my older family members. Hearing them speak about it and the emotional descriptions of the raw energy of that time made me a lifelong fan. A visceral and mechanical time, where driving fast was as much about mechanical feel as it was precision engineering. Driver and car connecting as an extention of each other, both pushing each other to greater heights. Exploring the limits of grip together and pulling one another back from the edge. I have been fortunate enough to experience a lot in my life, but I truely hope that one day I get the chance for 1 lap in a machine such as this. "Dirty and dangerous, but alive and wonderful"

    Although Formula Super Ford Italia was supposed to run a Group Two variant of Fords 2-litre Pinto Engine it is difficult to track down procise engine specifications. Aside from twin twin-choke Solex or Weber downdraft carburettors, Super Ford Italia engines appear to have run a Ford-homolagated 'Group One' camshaft, slightly enlarged Grp.1 valves and retained the standard con-rods which can be regarded as only having a safe rev-limit of approx.7,000 rpm.
