Derek Bennett designed and built successful and beautiful cars. Starting in the 60's his reputation was boundless.
Chevron Cars Ltd owns the archives of the Derek Bennett designed cars which includes the original paper drawings, jigs, moulds and casting patterns. |
|
|
Despite passing through several owners these archives remain intact.This simply means that parts supplied by Chevron Cars Ltd are exactly as they were in the 60’s.
Arch Motors famed for manufacturing race car chassis such as Brabham March and Lotus also made them for Chevron.

|
We are delighted that Arch are now producing frames, and all fabricated components, pedals wishbones etc exclusively for Chevron Cars Ltd. More importantly they are made using the same material and welding methods thus meeting exactly the requirements of the FIA to enable them to grant HTP papers.
It makes sense to ensure your HTP car is beyond any doubt the same as the original. |

In the May 2008 issue of Octane Magazine Tony Dron comments:

"The new Chevron B8 shown by Chris Smith at Autosport International in January can only be described as perfection itself. He got Arch Motors to make the chassis out of the correct steel, as used in B8s of 1968-'70. He obtained the correct old-fashioned welding apparatus and he ensured that every bit of the construction was precisely right.
Smith's B8s are built up by Kelvin Jones Motorsports and the results are superb. Chris, the founder and former owner of Westfield Cars, bought the rights to Chevron along with the drawings and much of the tooling, and he is justly proud of his B8. When I sat in his car at the show, it looked, felt and even smelt exactly like a new Chevron did 40 years ago. Undeniably it is a beautiful thing." |
