The Chevron B28 was an open-wheel race car, designed, developed and built by British Manufacturer Chevron, for Formula 5000 racing, in 1973. [1] It was driven by Peter Gethin , Teddy Pilette , Vern Schuppan , and Chris Craft .

Chevron built two updated F5000 Chevron B28s for VDS in 1974, and Peter Gethin won four races that season in his car. Despite that success, no other sales were made.

Early in 1972, Brian Redman asked Bennett if he could build a F5000 car. Just ten weeks later, the B24 continued the Chevron fairy tale with a debut win at Oulton Park. A production run of B24s followed in 1973 but customer sales dropped away with the B28 and B30 that followed.

These were the only cars that left the factory as B28s. The other "B28s" were upgraded B24 cars. Chassis: 01. Engine: GM 5 Litre. Transmission: Hewland DG 300. Previous Owners: VDS (1974) Racing History: One of two VDS cars for the 1974 season. This car was driven by Teddy Pilette.
