Historical Notes:
Roger Heavens and Mike Garton purchased DBE16-35 in late 1970 as a rolling chassis. Sponsorship was Castrol/Dunlap. This was one of the last, possibly the last B16 built. Due to a supply issue with FVCs, the car was fitted with an FVA for the first three race entries, and thus ran in the 1600 class.

At the end of May 1971, a proper FVC was obtained, and the car converted over, with the first race in the 2000 class on 5 September, 1971 at Nurburgring. It is believed that the bladder tanks were changed during the upgrade. Below is a list of the seven races in which DBE16-35 competed. Additionally there are two races where the car was on the entry list and DNS, and one race where the car DNQ.

4.	Sept 26, 1971	Zandvoot 2-litre - 15th
5.	Oct 12, 1971	Barcelona 1000km - 7th
6.	Oct 17, 1971	Paris 1000km - Disqualified
7.	Oct 24, 1971	Casablanca Grand Prix - 2nd

After the Casablanca race, the car was partially dismantled to provide components for the newly acquired B21 chassis and body. The engine, transmission, and four corners were transplanted to the B21. DBE16-35 was then offered for sale in the January 27, 1972 issue of Autosport.

The car was purchased by Randy Berry of Marauder & Company of Potomac, Illinois. Mr. Berry purchased this car as the model for his Marauder Chevron kit car. Above is a picture of DBE16-35 arriving in the USA at Chicago O'Hare Airport. As can be seen from the photo, the car is still in the livery run at Barcelona.

In 1986, the current owner purchased DBE16-35 from Mr. Berry, and began a restoration process. The chassis was cleaned and re-skinned by Mr. Berry in late 1986-87. The 1986 photo below, taken during the restoration of the chassis, shows the Arch Motors serial number AM70- 22. This is consistent with DBE16-35 since, according to the factory build record, it was the 22nd B16 built. While the chassis from Arch were not necessarily used in sequence, it is consistent with the build order.

Completion of the car was performed from 1987 to 1994 by Steve Cole, Cole Performance of Winchester, Virginia. Parts for the restoration were supplied by CHEVRON HERITAGE Ltd (Roger Andreason), Vin Malkie, Lanan Competitive Developments, Steve Sheldon, and David Kopf.

Recently, the bag tanks were removed for up-dating, and revealed to be the original bag tanks from the 1971 conversion to the FVC. The bag tanks were made by FPT with the seat tanks sequentially numbered. All bags were manufactured in June 1971 except the right front tank which is from May 1971.

The car is fitted with with a Cosworth BDP which was converted to Weber carbs and gasoline. The owner does have an original period FVC engine. The car recently received an HTP certificate HTP-USA5453. The car has never been raced or wrecked since 1971.
