In the seventies Chevron, an English company founded by Derek Bennett, was one of the main manufacturers of racing, Formula and Sport cars. In Sports, Chevron had made itself known with the B8 and B16, then continuing with B19, B21, B23, B26 and B31. With the B36, presented in 1976, Chevron offered private teams a valid product, suitable for 2-liter engines. In those years, in the 2-liter class of Group 6, Chevron had another English manufacturer, the Lola, as its main competitor. Production of the B36 continued until 1978, the year of Bennett's death. The history of the Chevron continued with various other models. The B36s continued to be used by private teams on the track and in hill climbs until 1982 and today they are very popular cars in historic racing.

Entered by Jean-Philippe Grand in the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans, this Chevron was powered by a BMW 2000cc. Driven by Grand himself with Yves Courage, future sports car manufacturer, the Chevron was the first car to retire due to an accident.

SPARK-MODEL

In the history of static modeling, Spark has truly revolutionized the market. The brand was created by Hugues Ripert, whose father André had been one of the main contenders of the artisanal modeling scene in the 70s and 80s. After working for Vitesse, Quartzo and Ixo, Ripert jr did not choose the diecast technique but opted for resin, with production in China but development and conception strictly in the European tradition. In practice the idea was to offer special models built in small series (what were later called "resincast"). The first Sparks were released in 2000, with a quality-price ratio unapproachable for most industrial and artisanal producers. Today Spark continues to churn out dozens of new products a year, having also expanded its production to other scales, such as 1:18 but also 1:64. There are numerous numbered and limited series for the various national distributors and for private customers such as teams, sponsors, drivers and so on.
