I think we now have all the evidence we need to concluded that Steve Marchmann's B20 is indeed ex Bobby Brown, and indeed ex Cobb and ex Mead! Assiduous reading of ads in Autoweek has unearthed some new clues, so let's work backwards 1978 we have the car in Houston with Paul Lindell for sale AW 28.2.76 p. 22 by Richard Jackson 12888 Noel Road, #2085 Dallas 75320 is a B20 with t/c and BDA photo shows, car has race no 2 on it, red or...

Thanks Allen, I realised it was formula2.net that I was recalling. The only B20 chassis no quoted that I noticed is Peter Gethin's car, although it's oddly listed as B20.F2.2. I made a mistake in the description of my car, the roll hoop cross tube is higher, not lower as I'd stated. Do we have a list of the known surviving cars & their current owners? It'd be good to be able to share information & help...

Chris... you are a god! Thanks! Steve ...car is now safe and sound in Idaho Falls, Idaho after 1900 miles cross country in the back of a moving trailer. I'm still going to put the car together with a BDD; I think I'll assemble the Brian Hart t/c head on top of the LA block and keep it for show.

Hi Dan there is no problem with this. Both of the B20s have survived or at least one rebuilt. Allen Brown has also referred to the incident where the Alex Lowe B20 was written off at Oulton Park in 1980. This does raise some questions about the extent of the write off and restoration, but the two cars are as follows. We have to remember though - what might seem like a write off to the untrained observer, in fact can be readily repaired with...

Harry/Steve, AM 72 3 was Arch Motor's way of recording that it was the 3rd B20 chassis/frame that they constructed for Chevron in 1972.AM were also constructing the B21 chassis, but I think that they were numbered in a different sequence e.g. AM 72 B21 3. However,it does not necessarily mean that Chevron used the third B20 chassis from AM to build their third complete car in 1972,being B20-72-3,as there could well have been a minimum...

Dozens of original B20 drawing here if you need any info!!

Just curious if anyone has any info on these two models that were built for F-B in the states...........M.W.

i belive that i picked that car up in belguim around 7 years ago for a dealer in banbury(porsche warehouse)it was complete with engine and box and looked like the guy had left it on the trailer for many years just with a cover over it.

I have an entry for Bob Brown in a Chevron B20, on May 3rd, 1972, in the Japanese Grand Prix. Entrant Fred Opert, Number (2), started 11th (out of 11), no result available.
