Chevron chassis numbers- 10A
Perhaps I can add some information to the chassis number puzzle.
I own Chevron 71 B19 10A. Purchased from Dick Leppla, former Chevron Chevron Dealer in the US. The car was owned and raced by Mike Amalfitano of Amalfi racing- N.H., USA.
The car has period original FIA papers.
Ed Swart at the US Chevron 40th reunion declared that this ( 10A) was HIS original Canon car. He had lost track of it until our meeting. Ed also confirmed that there was no 11 car as David Gordon writes ( pg 37) in "The Derek Bennett Story".
The Chevron Chassis number accounting ( the only one I have found on the internet) thus far has not recognized 10A and has mistakenly reported #11 and #12 histories.
I will be happy to produce the FIA papers and get MR. Swart to confirm the above if it will be helpful in maintaining the proper registry....who is maintaining it?
respectfully,
Jeff McKay
