The South African Kreepy Krauly (swimming pool cleaner) sponsored March-Porsche 83G that caused a bit of an upset when it was driven to victory in the 1983 Daytona 24 Hour by the South African drivers Graham Duxbury, Tony Martin and Sarel van der Merwe.

I spoke to Tony yesterday and he has just started building the original Chevron B1, Lotus Seven look alike, for Chevron in the UK.It's powered by the Ford of South Africa built Rocam engine which pushes out 120 bhp. It's single OHC eight valve engine that powers the local Ford Fiestas and the Bantam pick up version.
