Allen, as ever you're right! We have no evidence to think -06 was the RAM car, at the time I even thought it was a B42 updated, which it could have been I suppose.
I'm still doubtful, purely from memory, on Rowan having -04 in 1982. I can't see why anyone, logically, would import a relatively 'poor' F2 car from Italy for the hills. Anyway, didn't Terry Fisher have a B42 around that time, not a 48. On the Jim C B45, I'm certain Vin Malkie had it in 1981, possibly 82 and 83 aswell.
Finally, the B49/47 issue, I've long suspected a number of the cars called 'B49s' on the hills were really 47s. They disappeared from F3 soon after 1979, and I reckon they would have been picked up cheap by sprinters/climbers soon after, and re-engined.
