Rowan ran it in sprints (as a 'B45' just to confuse us further) from 1982 to mid-1984. It then passed to Stuart Ridge who ran it to the end of 1987. Then to David Seton in Scotland then to Carl Amos also for sprints and hillclimbs and then lost.

David Seaton part exed the Chevron when he bought John Garnett's turbo charged Pilbeam. Garnett was a mate of Amos's and the car was sold on to Carl. He ran it in the British Sprint Championship in 1995 before he sold it to help finance a F3000 car. I seem to recollect it was sold via Dave Gardner(?) an engine builder but I might be mistaken.

I may bump into John Garnett later this year and will ask if he knows what happened to the car.
