Brian Fisher Chevron B16 "Clone"
British Club racer Brian Fisher drove, in the early 90s, what Autosport called a Chevron B16 clone. IIRC it was a fiberglass chassised, Chevron B16 bodied car. I'm looking for pics and infos about the car...thank you!

Hmmm, interesting one.
IIRC, he originally might have had a 'Skoda' special saloon shell on the same chassis? Not sure if it's been discussed in the respective Lola/Skoda or special saloons threads? |

Sorry Fausto , but I find this story hard to believe ! I believe that what is more likely is that Brian Fisher raced in Castle Combe Special GT events with a Chevron chassis fitted with a fibreglass Skoda silhouette shell . It might just have been fitted with a 1500 BDA at one point !

:-) Please believe me, I remember Autosport (National Racing section) wrote about it, even published a pic of the car, painted white, basically a B16, with deeper sills, and an "open" tail, Porsche 917-style.
BTW many thanks for the replies, hope more'll come, together with some pics... |

Fisher did have skoda at Coombe with 1500 bda ( my fathers old don gt champ winning motor) later he did have b16 bodie dcar so he either fitted B16 body to the skoda or he went to Andreason and had 1 of his b16 road cars kits that roger was doing around then
i can find out more as a mate is running in Vdev with 1 of Brians sons also the car in the thundersports race is B16 Mazda 13b not Fishers car Last edited by driftwood; 3 Dec 2008 at 09:58. |

spoke to Brian Fisher recently, he shed some light on the car origins...confirmed that the chassis was fiberglass, a Darrian item, modified to accept the B16 bodywork, that came directly from Chevron, somehow interested in seeing how the project went on. After being raced the car was sold to a collector in Japan.
