I presume you refer to Ken 'Hub of the Universe' thorogood, wasn't he based in East Anglia somewhere. Finally, are you sure the Hart was built in 1988, this seems v late for Hart to be building F2 engines? |

Dan,
I can answer part of your query, Chris had heard that Brian Hart were building a batch of 10 new 420R engines in the late 1980's and ordered one , and after delivery then set about finding a car to insert said engine into, in Australia you cannot stuff any eng. into any chassis , the car must run the same type of eng. as it ran in period, e.g. my BT35 -8 runs an iron block 1790/1860cc BDE , I cannot , even if I desired run an alloy block BDG of 1995cc , so they had to search out a car that ran a 420R in period. Bryan. |

Allen, or maybe Steve W, do you know where -10 ended up, after George McMillan. On the hills somewhere perhaps??

You are correct. I racesd at Mallory in F3 -77 and FF1600 1982 teamed with Rod Gretton and in 83 against my brother in 83 FF2000. I had a large Dental practice in Nuneaton Wawickshire from 1980 to 1985. My brother Steve and I started Milldent Motorsport from Hinckley Industrial estate. He moved to Chambelain Engineering in 1987 and used to meet Brian Hart at the local. Brian built 3x 420Rs in 88 one of which I bought. I now live in Australia and Steve lives in Leafield OXON. Ken is the Ken of copy anything and sell it at the time. Thetford actually. He is a legend. Regards Chris Farrell |

Two B35-ROCs appear on the French hills in 1977, one with Fredy Canin and the other with Jean Lachaud. There are also Cheval's B29/B35-ROC, which is sometimes reported as a B35 just to confuse matters, and the ex-Lapeyre B35-BMW of Régis Pechaire. So, as the two cars advertised above are clearly different vehicles, one could be excused for concluding that 76-09 was Canin's and 76-03 was Pechaire's. But it's not that simple of course (when is it?). F1R report André Chevalley running a B35-BMW in 1977 and call it 76-03. If they're right about that, it means someone in France has taken the ROC engine out of 76-03 and put in a BMW just as someone else in France is taking a BMW out of another B35 and putting in a ROC. Posssible, but unlikely. ROC engines didn't exactly grow on trees. Anyone looked into the Chevalley car? Do we know how F1R identified it? Allen |

Another B35 to stir things up. Chevron employee John Lewis is reported to have built up a B35 at the factory and first raced it at Aintree in August 1977 (MN 18 Aug 1977 p16).

I'm pretty sure Allen, that this was a B34 in fact, that Lewis built up at the factory. It had an Atlantic BDA IIRC, and hence was described as a B34 in period, tho' I guess if it was a 'bitza' it may have had parts from 34 and 35.

What about the B36?
Hello everybody,
I would like to have some informations about the 21 B36 chassis numbers, specially the ones delivered in France, to ROC and may be other people. I only know that B36-76-01 is the "Apache" (won the last Targa Florio in 1977) B36-76-2 may be the Lancia Fortuna B36-76-5 may be currently in the US B36-76-6 may be also in the US but may be a ROC Thanks for any help! |

Regarding B35-76-01 (or at least we think it's 01), Andy Barton Jr has confirmed that the B35 was rebuilt with B40 bits as his 'B40' in 1978.

Chevron B35-ROC appearances in 1976:
Charnisay 14 Mar 1976 (Roger Rivoire B29-ROC 2nd – ex-Beltoise car lent by Stalder) Hockenheim 11 Apr 1976 Jean-Pierre Jaussaud 76-03 5th Thruxton (Monday) 19 Apr 1976 Jaussaud DNA Col St Pierre 25 Apr 1976 Rivoire 4th (‘new’, plain blue with barely a sticker in sight) Bourbach 2 May 1976 Rivoire crashed (drives a borrowed March 742 thereafter) Vallelunga 9 May 1976 Jaussaud 76-09 6th ('his brand new Chevron replacing the one borrowed from a French hillcimber for the first races') Salzburgring 23 May 1976 Jaussaud 76-03 DNQ (nptr) - this chassis number must be suspect Pau 7 Jun 1976 Jaussaud 76-03 DNQ (nptr) - this chassis number must be suspect Hockenheim 20 Jun 1976 Jaussaud 76-09 Ret Rouen 27 Jun 1976 Jaussaud 76-09 DNQ Boyeux-Saint Jerome 4 Jul 1976 Rivoire 6th (not adapting to his new car) Beaujolais 11 Jul 1976 Rivoire 2nd Mugello 11 Jul 1976 Jaussaud 76-03 DNQ Servannin 76-09 DNQ Tancarville 14 Jul 1976 Rivoire 3rd Cacherat 18 Jul 1976 Rivoire 3rd Sisteron St-Geniez 25 Jul 1976 Rivoire 1st Dunieres 1 Aug 1976 Rivoire 6th Treffort 8 Aug 1976 Rivoire 2nd Estoril 8 Aug 1976 Jaussaud DNA Echelette 29 Aug 1976 Rivoire 2nd Fredy Canin 5th (debut, sponsored by RG Auto, car appears white with pale cockpit surround) Gua 5 Sep 1976 Canin 3rd (Jean Lachaud B29-ROC 2nd – lent by Stalder for two events) Limonest Mt-Verdun 12 Sep 1976 Rivoire 4th Canin 9th (Lachaud B29-ROC 6th) Soissons 19 Sep 1976 Rivoire 2nd Bayard 19 Sep 1976 Canin 3rd Nogaro 19 Sep 1976 Jaussaud 76-09 9th Vence 26 Sep 1976 Rivoire 3rd Canin 6th Hockenheim 26 Sep 1976 Jaussaud 76-09 DNQ Ledenon (circuit race) 17 Oct 1976 Canin 1st Valflaunes 24 Oct 1976 Canin 1st It certainly looks as if there are three B35-ROCs here.

I wonder if Andre Chevalley's 1977 car was identified as 'ex-Jaussaud' somewhere and F1R has extrapolated that into identifying it as 76-03. It would make a lot more sense if it was 76-09 and 76-03 is the Rivoire car, then going to Jean Lachaud for 1977. Fredy Canin's car, which he retains for 1977, looks like it's an addition to our list.

A little bird tells me that B35-03 was indeed the Rivoire car. It was loaned to ROC because chassis 9 and 11 [yes 11] weren't ready in time for the start of the F2 season, then returned to the hills and badly damaged at Bourbach 2 May. Chevalley's car then makes sense as 09. Chris |

Just been talking to George McMillan. He confirmed the history of 76-10 but added that it then went to a lad in Yorkshire in part chop for a Brabham (Brabham went to Robin Smith). The B35 became a supersaloon and appeared in the Donington series. This would have been 1980 - George last raced it at the end of 1979.

Chevalley's car is identified by Autosprint as 03 in 1977, but it's described as a B40. Elsewhere it is described as having been acquired from Harald Ertl and Rolf Stommelen, who had planned to run a two car team that season, so no connection to ROC and no reason for all the engine swapping that would otherwise justify this car as having been Rivoire's car in 1976
