gGenleman, I will try to sort out 1 at a time.
Andrew and Chris will know who I mean when I say Duncan R. of the F1 Register.Duncan could not assist re. my 74B any more than what I already had which is 1 page only of 74B sales , mine originated from Alan Harris at Gordon Spice Eng. circa 1987 .
I don,t know where it originated but it will appear to all that it is correct when I type it in , I don,t think in this forum it will fall in to Bad use.Here goes
74B-1 Planer White 2 Nov. 1973.
74B-2 Grimaldi Red 29 Nov. 1973
74B-3 Grimaldi Yellow 27 Nov. 1973
74B-4 Grimaldi Midnight Blue 12 Dec. 1973
74B-5 M.Coarasa Midnight Blue 4 Dec 1973
74B-6 Grimaldi White 17 Dec. 1973
74B-7 C.Cramer White 10 Jan. 1974 with note lightweight hillclimb special
74B-8 Canada Green 28 Jan. 1974
74B-9 Brown Blue 23 Feb.1974
74B-10 Grimaldi White no date
74B-11 Grimaldi White ''
74B-12 Grimaldi Midnight Blue no date
74B-13 Grimaldi Yellow 31 May note semi kit.
I know who and where Grimaldi was in 1975 via some other March documents, when cars that went to U.S.A. were dispatched via Rapid Movements to Shierson / Grimaldi.
It looks like he was some sort of broker pre. ordering cars and on selling.
The guys at Marchives in the U.S. also know of him,but not for a long time, Ihave been advised he was the engine builder.
Where does this leave us????
# 1 should be the Wella car as it is white and on display at the Racing car show early Jan.1974.
I bet Planer was the man at Wella who placed the order at March.
# 7 is the superbly liveried Grunhale Lager car of Chris Cramer
# 8 could be for export to Canada.
#12 should be mine.
Autosport March 7 1974 has a preview of the 1st. round of the John Player Atlantic Championships with 5 74B entries listed for Bev Bond ,Snappy Tom [ Tom Walkinshaw ] , Bobby Brown , Ted Wenz , and Matt Spitzley.
I later read Spitzley,s car was an updated 713M
For sure the 74B-1 is Wenz and unless anybody dissagrees it went to N.Z. thence to Australia about 10 years ago and I know exactly where the car is and who owns it .
Over to you guys to see if you can add anything.
