The car was first raced in the 1,000 Km of Nürburgring, Germany, July 31, 1970, by Roger Heavens and Mike Garton, finishing 17th overall against the winning Porsche 908 of Vic Elford, the Ferraris, Alfa Romeos, etc. In their first race, Tony Birchenhough acquired the car from Roger Heavens in 1971. Birchenhough and Brian Joscelyn drove to 12th overall at the 1000 Km of Spa against the Porsche 917K of Pedro Rodriquez, Alfa Romeo Lola T70, etc. At the 1,000 Km of Nürburgring they finished 23rd “not running at finish.” They finished 14th overall at the 1,000 Km of Paris against Derek Bell in a Porsche 917K. After the 1971 season, the car was sold to Billy Blackledge of Jamaica, who raced it successfully in Jamaica, Nassau, Santo Domingo and probably in Cuba. Blackledge sold the car to Richard Melville and Geoffrey DePass, who dismantled it and brought it to John Gunn's shop in Miami for reassembly, never returning to reclaim it. John sold it to Harry Stevenson for storage charges. Harry raced the car as a B Sports Racer until it was purchased by Charlie Hollis in 1975. Hollis raced it as an SCCA B Sports Racer for several years. The car was loaned to a driver in Virginia and driven in several SVRA races in the Northeast. It was then put into storage for 10 years. Hollis and Don Loftis retrieved the car from Virginia and brought to the Custom Coachwork Shop of Don Loftis where it was restored to present condition.

Chevron B 19 John Bamford 

Estava a passar no paddock e o laranja foi logo a primeira coisa que me saltou aos olhos... Os logos não me enganariam...

Duas senhoras a apanhar sol sentadas ao lado do Chevron.A vista retratada por uma das fotos é bastante expressiva e o contraste entre duas Senhoras a conversar ao lado do Chevron simplesmente perfeito.

Desci e abordei as Senhoras...

Paulo Granado  - Sorry this car is yours ?

Uma das Senhoras respondeu

- No is car, apontando para o piloto John à distância...

PG - Is this John Bamford's Chevron?

Respondeu entusiasmada:

Yes it is ! Virando-se para o John disse: He (Eu) Knows the car !!!

PG - Yes it raced in my home town Vila Real back in 1971

Expliquei que já tínhamos reeditado esta corrida em Slot cars e que o amigo Paulo Costa tinha feito uma miniatura.

 Ela responded:

Yes I saw the car

Some stickers were made because of that car

whem we bought the chevron was blue

then we painted it in orange

A reposição da decoração original de John Bamford foi feita pela equipa que os acompanha que se chama FOXCRAFT Racing sendo que o responsável pelo restauro do Chevron foi o engenheiro Simon Pragnell que também conheci no Algarve

Bill Wykeham é co-piloto de John Emberson e segundo consegui apurar correu com o carro nos anos 80

E o John Emberson ao ver-me disse:

 - Do you wan't to take a photo inside ?

Um momento especial se não fosse o Pedro Oliveira não tinha conseguido esse registo.

The last of Porsche's "street legal" racecars was the 906. With dealer plate in hand we went out to test that theory.

This video I recorded in April this year during Porsche days 2010 at circuit Spa Francorchamps (Belgium) I recorded this very rare and unique Porsche 906 Carrera 6.
The Porsche 906 or Carrera 6 was the last street-legal racing car from Porsche. It was announced in January 1966 and 50 examples were subsequently produced. The engine regularly fitted was the 901/20 6-cylinder lightweight racing engine with 220 Bhp

It's currently being offered by Fiskens following a brief run-in with the law outside the firm's Kensington Mews premises, where it recently became one of the most valuable cars to ever receive a parking ticket.
