Chevron B48s

Broadly agree with what's been said about who had what so far, but the description of the Jordan car as a 'B49' might be sort of accurate. F1R is often inaccurate on F2 chassis numbers [witness the Briggs Chevron B42s in 1978].

Jordan's was the car raced by Devaney at the Donington F2 round. It had earlier been raced by Gaillard in Euro F2. It was built as a development car in late 78 as an updated B42. Patrese races it in Macau '78, then it goes to Japan where Rosberg uses it in Japan GP [March 79, entered by Le Mans co]. Then it comes back to Europe.

Brian Robinson owns B48-08 in 1980 and 81, but I'm wondering if that was, indeed, this car, or if it was another B48 that didn't sell.
