‘CHOCOLATE’ CHEVRON

John Emberson gave the famous Chevron B26 ‘chocolate drop’ its first UK race for several years last weekend at Donington Park when he ran the ex-works car in the Masters Historic Sports Car Championship. Raced in period for the Chevron factory by Brian Redman, Peter Gethin and John Watson, the brown livery gave the car its name. Its results included fourth in the world sportscar championship round at Brands Hatch in 1974, and it later won the British Sportscar Championship with Iain Mclaren.
