    I've done a fair amount of reading on WAPET so far, it has quite an interesting history. I've emailed Chevron to see if they can help me find the history on this car, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Ideally, I'd like to find out if it had any historical significance as it was built in the early years of WAPET's exploration in the North West.
    Cheers,

    Ben.

    West Australian Petroleum (WAPET) was a joint venture between Shell, Woodside and Chevron. They were responsible for the major oil exploration effort in WA from the late 1940s. Most of their senior technical people were from Shell initially, with Chevron becoming involved more from the early 1950s.

    From memory, Shell exited the consortium in the 1970s, and I am not sure whether it is not just Chevron today or whether the name is still being used.
