After many years, thousands of $$, and even more hours in the garage, the ex-Rosberg B45 Excita Chevron chassis #4 is finally complete (only four B45s were built).
I bought the car in the UK from Simon Hadfield, who was in the process of restoring it but I persuaded him to sell it to me as a bare tubs with gearbox and all the suspension bits and bobs, original Speedline wheels etc.
The car was bought by Opert for Eje Elghe, but after Rosberg stuffed his car (chassis #2)at Lime Rock, he used this car to finish 4th at the LR event. Rosberg continued to use the car throughout the season, mainly as a spare but at Trois Riviere it was driven by Arturo Mezarrio. It was returned to the UK in preparation for the Macau GP where it was once again driven by Rosberg who had a coming together with another car in the race. It came back to the UK where it was bought by Jim Crawford who went on to win the British FA series. Later he put a BDX in it and ran the Aurora AFX series, wining in the rain at Oulton Park. When Jim Crawford made his way to the US the car was sold to Vin Malkie of Chevron fame, and later passed through a number of club racers, before I bought it.
Unlike Rand's sweet FA, I have yet to run this car - heck I have never even driven a FA. I am hoping that Frog will enjoy the color.
