| 1972 Chevron B21 Chassis B21-72-16 Legends are pleased to offer this genuine and extensively campaigned Chevron B21 for sale. Raced in period by Roger Havens and Mike Garton it was a regular top ten finisher during the 1972 season at Vallelunga, Kyalami, Dijon, Nurburgring, Spa, Esoril, Imola, Barcelona as well as well as participating in the Springbok series. In 1974 the car was passed on to Waldemar Teixeira where it was used in SA and Angola where it finished its competitive life in 1974. This coincided with start of the Angolan civil war at which point the car was containerized and impounded for the next 20 years. The car was eventually returned to Europe in the early 1990’s and extensively restored in 2008 by the present owner. Both the injected 2 litre BDG, with dyno sheet, and the Hewland FT200 are freshly rebuilt by Nemisis Racing. The chassis and suspension components have been completely restored and crack tested and new Premier bag tanks were installed. The car has had two shake down days and is sold as on the button and ready to go! Current FIA HTP This represents a great opportunity to acquire a genuine B21 with excellent history to participate in the Martini Trophy and Classic Endurance Racing Series etc. POA The car we are proud to offer here is a stunning and genuine 1972 Chevron B21. Originally raced by Roger Havens and Mike Garton, it placed regularly in the first ten during major races such as Vallelunga, Kyalami, Dijon, Nurburgring, Prix de Spa, Estoril, Imola and Barcelona, to name but a few. The current owner has many old articles and much history from Autosport were the car is pictured racing against Jochen Mass, Peter Gethin and Jody Scheckter in South Africa. At some stage during the 1970 era the car was shipped to Angola to compete. This was the beginning of the Angola civil war. The B21 became impounded and spent the next 20 years in a container. The B21 then eventually reappeared in Europe around 1990. The current owner purchased the car in 2008 and set about a full body-off restoration, including engine and gearbox, which has been done to a very high standard. This superbly restored B21 is fitted with a recently rebuilt 2 litre BDG engine (dyno sheet available on request) and is equipped with BD2 2Ltr 8mm mechanical fuel injection. The gearbox is an Hewland FT200. This B21 has only had two test shake downs since this total rebuild and the car has always been perfectly maintained. Kept in "race ready" condition, it is priced here today very competitively.
