What was this car, and what were the names of the 2 men most often associated with the car?

(My apologies for the poor photo, which is the only one I could find).

Chevron B2?

Chevron B2?

Not a Chevron. You're on the right lines with the class of racing.

So is it still around?

I don't know. I suspect not.

Which is why I posted Experts GO!. Yes, fellow members of AP, I posted a puzzle photo which was actually taken about 45/50 years ago by one of us. I already knew this because of a PM, but had to promote it to the Experts at some time or other. It's just one of those things, Willie McCrum had no part in it - we're not members of FIFA.

It was designed by Hamish Graham-Munro, but the names Willie mentioned are the ones I was looking for.

(We all deserve a bit of luck from time to time).

That's interesting indeed!
Are you a photographer Willie? It will be nice ot see other shots like this.
Forget the question...I know the answer...not a photographer but The Photographer!
