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, Lola 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. |

 |
| Chevron Cars Ltd offer a full repair service for Chevron race cars with dimensional information from their original drawings. |

In 1973 he created history at the Race of Champions at Brands Hatch beating all the Formula 1 cars to take overall victory.
