In fact, it is definitive on these attractive Lancastrian racers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The author has based this fascinating volume on the notes he made in period when he was employed by Chevron constructing their single-seaters. He covers the period from the beginning in 1967 with the B7\u2014inspired by the idea of a scaled-down F1 Eagle\u2014up to 1970 and every single-seater to emerge, and even some that didn\u2019t during that period are detailed. So there should never be any argument about any of these cars\u2019 histories again. In microcosm this is \u201cTime and One Seat,\u201d and it is hoped a second volume on subsequent years will be written.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the fact that the late Derek Bennett\u2019s business was uniquely British, there is much of interest to U.S. and Canadian readers, for instance, as these were two markets that Chevron was keen to crack with a variety of Formula B and C cars. Mike Eyerley, where are you now?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The book is profusely illustrated and the research has produced such rarities as a photo of ex-Fiat, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo competition manager Giorgio Pianta in a Jolly Club B9 F3 car at Brands Hatch in 1969, as well as Peter Broeker\u2019s FB car at St Jovite in 1970, among many others.
