History

This Derrick Bennet B20 was run originally in the Formula III Championship series in the UK, 1972. After the '72 season the front suspension and nose were updated to B27 specs.

The car was originally purchased here in the US from Cosworth North America of Dallas Tx. in 1973 or 1974. It was raced throughout the S.West and S.East until 1978 and has been in enclosed storage in Texas since. The owner fell ill and sold the car to the current owner.
