Dan Rear should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The Smith-Jones 742, yes it wasn't much of a 'looker'. As I recall it had a very home-made radiator in the front nose, nothing like as elegant as the 782 nose, but intended for the same effect I guess. About as well looked after as the infamous Carlo Giorgio car, a 732(?) that he updated thru the 70s, and still used in I think 79, up against much more modern cars. Still there were some very optimistic Italians in F2 in those days, and much the better the serries was for them !!
