The current owner says it's a "Chevron B40/B42", although I had it down as a B40.

The current owner has now told me that the car is actually a B42 (chassis no. 1) but was entered as B40 and ran B40 bodywork, which it still has.

Had I read Bryan Miller's post #9 in the B42 thread all would have been clear!!

This car was probably the one Patrese ran at Donington F2 round in 1977, with BMW M12, then to Macau with BDA and subsequently to Steve Millen, Bob Donaldson and Wayne Ford

Yes, the car was purchased from Peter Larner earlier this year. It was fairly tired and is now undergoing a comprehensive rebuild/restoration. Larner ran it with a 2L BDG but it is being returned to its Atlantic specification.

As Chris says it's the same car that Riccardo raced at Donington and Macau.

Is this the colour scheme used at Macau in 77?

That was it!

And it is now again that colour scheme after the very well done rebuild.

And we should add that the car is the prototype B42 [42.78.01] and not a B40, with a lovely clean history all the way back to Patrese in the 1977 Donington F2 race and at Macau

We have just purchased the 40-77-07 car from Japan. In Pieces can anyone help me with photos or information of the car when it was running.


Thanks,

Probably the Masahiro Hasemi Formula Pacific car. I am just in the process of acquiring a set of Japanese racing magazines from this period so may be able to help with pictures. What history were you given for it?

You can email me at allen@oldracingcars.com

Hello.

Found couple photos on the Forum of Esprits racing at Ingliston.....

http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...96#post2395596

.....as I mentioned at the end of that Thread, car #101 is George Coghill.

When I saw him a couple weekends ago up at Golspie, he said it was Chevron B40 based. Apparently George bought it from Marty Dunn, who ran it open-wheel, whereas George put the Esprit body on it to run it in Scottish GT car class. It was converted back when he sold it, but he can't remember to whom, nor when.....

Marty ran it in 1981, then George as an Esprit in (as far as I can see...) '82 and '83.

Does this fit in with the history of anyone's chassis, and does it still exist ?

In the description provided on that website, many informations are provided about the threee Fred Opert cars. Very precise, but it doesn't fit with other pieces of information gathered in here so far
