Description

This is probably the least used Chevron B29 of the 25 produced and was ordered new from the factory in 1975 by Albert Poon of Malaysia. At the time the records show that the model had considerable race success including wins in the UK John Player Championship. The car has only 15 Race Meetings since 1975 and to our best knowledge was never crashed. It is immaculate, original and ready to race and win.

History

For the 1975 season Chevron decided to focus their open wheel efforts on Formula Atlantic. They produced a front running car which yielded a string of victories. This car is the 5th of 25 built and went initially to Malaysia. From there it went to Sweden and ultimately to Australia. Below is the ownership history plus results provided by Leif Norberg. Albert Poon was of little help in the results department but remembers the car well.
