Whilst there is also a website for the "Original Chevron Car Company" using the same logo and Wikipedia says:

Chevron Cars Ltd. was a manufacturer of racing cars, founded by Derek Bennett, who remained in charge from 1965 to his death in 1978. The firm has remained active in various guises since his death. Chevron has been owned since 1982 by Roger Andreason and Tim Colman. As of late 2006, controlling ownership of Chevron belongs to Chris Smith, founder of Westfield Sportscars.

Which is it and what's going on?
I think that the problem appears to be that there is:

a) Chevron Cars Ltd
and
b) Chevron Racing Ltd

Both are using what appears to be the original Chevron logo as part of their sites. Both will supply "continuation models". Both will support Chevron owners with maintenance of their cars etc.

It is a mess and such a pity that the Chevron name has been torn apart!
