Hepworth GB1, based on a BRM F1 chassis but with Chevrolet power.  Never raced in period which was, I think, early 80s but memory doesn't get much clearer than that !

That'll get the point. It was based on a BRM P230 chassis, as you say, but was badly damaged before it could race. David Hepworth bought a number of old BRM cars, including the bona-fide CanAm cars - such an interesting period in BRM's history, I wish Doug Nye could publish the last of his BRM series but fear that this won't happen until I'm well past reading it.......
