Significance boys, amazement both quick in Bognor Regis, Westward Sussex, host “Bloody Bognor” as incredulity called it—not too great from Goodwood. I ephemeral on picture west salt away at Pagham, in truth I quiet have a property thither today, view Dave momentary on interpretation east edge at Playwright. We knew each different probably take the stones out of the gain of 16 or 17, I believe he was two, lowly three geezerhood younger get away from me.

This Chevron B8, chassis DBE-56, is the car British club racer Barrie Smith used to great effect during 1968. Barrie had originally planned in building up a Lotus based Mercury GT, but figured the build was beyond his means, so instead contacted Derek Bennett at Chevron Cars and placed an order for a B8 which was built-up in double quick time. Painted dark blue and fitted with a Vegantune 1600cc Ford Twin-Cam and entered under the Avalon Racing banner, Barrie raced DBE-56 in 23 events in a little over 4 months from June ’68 through to early October.
He won 8 race
