Chris et al ,
Somwhere we have lost some of this thread in our cutting and pasting.
B42-78-01 is in Australia , has been for yonks , since 1981 to be prescise , Patrese/works - Donnington then to Steve Millen ran it in the NZ Series 1978 and 1979 and by 1982 sold to Wayne Ford of Melbourne 1982-1985 thence Wayne Walker 1985-1988 then Murray Bateson 1988-1999 then to Peter Larner.
Letter from David Gordon [ author Chevron book ] advises Patres used his regular blue B40 had been shipped to Japan and Chevron were not saying much about the new car except is had the monoque from the new B45 , 1978 front suspension , current rear suspension and clothed in a B40 body. all quoted from Motoring News race report from Donnington. The car was actually entered as a B40.
