Description
This lot will be auctioned via Silverstone Auctions, The Classic Sale at Silverstone 2022 on Friday the 26th of August - Saturday the 27th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN. This particular Chevron is thought to be the penultimate B42 chassis of the 21 constructed in period. After extensive research, checking its history and provenance with Chris Smith (Chevron Cars) and Vin Malkie (Chevron Racing), our vendor purchased the single seater in 2009. Having lain unused for a number of years, a total rebuild was required to bring up to the required standard with the brief being to create the best B42 possible leaving 'no stone unturned'. With that in mind, the work was entrusted to Chevron Racing as the skill and dedication of the many former Chevron employees who had built the car in period would once again produce the required result. Once completed, the single seater was inspected by the FIA and a new Historic Technical Passport issued with an expiry date of 2029 making the Chevron eligible for events worldwide.
An outstanding historic racing car restored to its correct period specification that is sure to bring great pleasure to its next custodian. With rebuild costs being well in excess of our listed guide price and, the fact that it was rebuilt by the same hands that constructed it in the first place, this has to be one single seater that is more than worthy of your serious consideration. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the potential on offer. A list of works carried out over the last 10 years can be sent upon request and a spares package is available by separate negotiation.
