Race Retro

[Wizzo]

Westfield, Chevron, Morgan and Marcos look like classics – with the benefits of a modern motor but the presence of a classic sports-racer. All four manufacturers are on show at Race Retro, the International Historic Motorsport Show, at Stoneleigh Park from 23-25 March 2007.

All four are offering test drives at the show.

Westfield Sportscars will be assembling the first of the 25th anniversary XIs, live on Stand B12 in Hall 2, during the three days of Race Retro. “During the build, there will be question and answer sessions,” said Westfield boss Julian Turner. "After the show, the completed car will be auctioned for charity.”

Westfield will also be launching the first of its customised tool chests designed specifically for building its cars. The tool chest will be raffled off with the proceeds going to charity.

Chevron Racing Cars will be unveiling the company’s first production road car, the Chevron B1 Mk2. Styled on the model designed by Derek Bennett in 1965, the B1 Mk2 is said to live up to its heritage in both looks and performance. Using a Ford 1600cc World RoCam engine, the car costs £20,000 plus VAT on the road.

The Morgan-Marcos stand will be showing a Morgan Roadster Lightweight, the turn-key race car based on the V6 road car. You can find out more about an affordable, fixed-price race package for would-be racers who are new to the sport.

Meanwhile Marcos is exhibiting the TSO R/T. Engineered and manufactured by Prodrive, the chassis is matched to an aluminium V8 engine which – with its ‘cross-over’ exhaust system – produces what Marcos describes as “the best automotive sound track in the industry”.

Test drives are available on the day of all three cars mentioned above.

Race Retro, the fourth International Historic Motorsport Show, combines live action events with over 400 stands covering 70 years of historic motorsport on both two wheels and four – on road, off road and on track.

Advance one-day tickets cost £18.00, two-day tickets are £32.00.

I think this is the original style Chevron you're talking about. It ran in the vintage race at Sebring.
