One of a huge range of historic motorsport events across the world, the Philip Island Classic in 2023 featured a race for historic open-top prototypes. In the line-up was this fabulous Chevron B31 Ford BDG, featuring a screaming Ford twin-cam four-cylinder.
We first get a lovely view of the mill sat amidships, four trumpets popping out of one side, a snaking exhaust manifold on the other and the twin-cam head between them. We then see it screaming around the track in the heat of competition alongside comparable machinery. What a wonderful little thing and proof that your race car doesn’t have to have some howling six- eight- or 12-cylinder engine to be cool.
