Description
William I'Anson Ltd are delighted to offer for sale the excellent 1966 Chevron B6.
The first Chevron B6, built in time to be exhibited by Chevron at the Racing Car Show in January 1967. Bought from Chevron’s stand by Peter Taggart and campaigned by him at the Nurburgring 1000km in 1967 with Lotus Twincam power. Upgraded to BMW M10 engine for 1968 and subsequently raced at the Nurburgring 1000km, Spa 1000km, Monza 1000km, and Barcelona 12 Hours to name a few.
Winner of the 2.0 Prototype class at the 1971 Spa 1000km and Nurburgring 1000km with Tony Goodwin who bought it from Peter Taggart. Goodwin competed with Taggart at events including the Mugello Grand Prix, Spa 1000km and Nurburgring 1000km. Converted to Spyder format to increase start money earnings by Goodwin before later being returned to Coupe orientation by the next owner, Fred Boothby.
Successful in historic racing from the very early ‘80s with Richard Thwaites and Robbie Gordon, with Thwaites winning the 1982 Atlantic Computers GT Championship, before entering the current ownership in 1984.
In the current ownership CH-DBE-2 has been raced every year with huge success. It has won the Spa Six Hours twice overall, won the Modena Cento Ore overall, won the Thundersports 2-Litre Championship four times and the Group 4 Championship twice, along with countless wins in the Guards Trophy, finishing third overall at Dijon in 1000kms and winning the Index of Performance at the Le Mans Classic in 2004.
With just one race on the Lester Owen built BMW M10 engine and BPA Engineering serviced Hewland FT200 gearbox with new main case. Accompanied by current FIA HTPs, history file, and healthy running spares package including two sets of wheels, gear ratios, suspension, ignition, bodywork, refuelling equipment and more. Road registered in the UK with DVLA V5C logbook.
A superb and very early example of Chevron’s iconic sports racer. Raced internationally from new, with complete ownership history and for sale from the current 35 year tenure, CH-DBE-2 has won as recently as 2018. Ready to continue it’s racing ways with a new custodian, the B6 is as good to drive as it looks.
