02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productioncars built, 1971 | 351 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Chevron put the B16 Spyder into production for 1971 as the B19. Old Racing Cars warns that many cars presented as B19s were built in the 1980s or 1990s and that new B19s have continued to be built since.

Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
Many cars offered as Chevron B19s were built decades later; FIA Historic Technical Passports allow such cars to race, so provenance must be checked.
