Hi Guys and girls
I am trying to track the history of each of the Chevron B48's in particular chassis number 06. Would like to know who drove them when, and the results. thanks toshjaky@hotmail.com |

Thanks David
I was aware of that thread but there appears to be no definate history on chassis 06. I had been told that it was used at one stage by Rahal but is unconfirmed. I want to check it out because my brother has owned the car for probably fifteen years and is now wanting to sell it. It would be good to know the history. |

Tony
The known Rahal cars were chassis 1 and 5. Chassis 6 is something of a gap: it may have been a Docking Spitzley car, may have been the original de Dryver car, but that begs the question as to why he then got chassis 10, or might indeed have been a third car for the works F2 effort. Three questions that might help solve the provenance: What colour is the original gel coat on the bodywork? Who is the earliest owner you know, and where were they? Any scrutineer's stickers anywhere? Chris |

Chris, I thought we'd agreed -06 was the RAM car, used once for Bernard de D, and once for Luyendijk. Seems to have disappeared then, perhaps it went downunder. Where do you get chassis 10 from for de Dryver ?

Steve Jewell's B48s
Steve Jewell hillclimbed and sprinted a B48 from 1988 onwards. He actually owned two chassis: a) the ex-Huub Rothengatter car, and b) the ex-Bobby Rahal car. He actually restored the Rothengatter car to the same stae Huub drove it in. Meanwhile the Rahal car had the sidepods removed and was painted a nice shade of blue.
Can anyone furnish the chassis number of the ex-Rahal car that Jewell drove? THANKS |

Steve, at least 1 of the Huub cars, -03 and -07 we think, is apparently still downunder. The Rahal cars were -01 and -05. Both came to England in 1980, with Warren Booth and Roy Baker for Aurora. The 3rd ex works car, -08, was bused by Gaillard, Devaney, Jordan in 79, and in 80 went to Brain Robinson. He later built it into an Esprit GT car.
Which ones Jewell had I don't know, anything in 'Uphill Racers' ? Also are you sure Jewell's were B48s, might they have been a B49, or even B47??? |

No progress!

On the question of ex-Rahal & ex-Rothengatter - these were the cars that Steve Jewell said they were and I provided photos to Steve of both cars at Thruxton in their original trim. Fingers crossed for a result! |

Steve, the -01 car went to Roy Baker for Aurora/FAt in 1980-81, don't know after that. The ex Huub car, -03, no idea after 1979. Anyone know ?

Dan
I think that one of the Rothengatter cars went to Ireland and the other to NZ, so I guess that 03 is the one from the Emerald Isle. |

Bitz and bobz
When Steve Jewell took delivery of the Rothengatter car there were loads of oddball body bits. One of which was a sidepod 'painted all sorts of colours, like a test piece' I was able to provide Steve with photos of the car at Thruxton repleat with said side pods to prove that the rainbow effect was intentional.

Wasn't the 'rainbow effect' on the works/Rahal Ampex car, ie B48-79-01. IIRC the Docking/Huub car was all white.

There is currently an advert on the EuropeanF2 website by de Wagter for chassis 03 & 07, with a pic of car minus sidepods. Contact details are for Steve & Alain, but don't know how long the ad has actually been there.

Anyone feel like putting together a summary of what we've discovered so far. THe main Chevron thread has got to an unwieldy length.
