That's very helpful as it implies that 94 and 149 were the basis of the 1980 cars too. It's hard to imagine Cicale buying second-hand RT1s to replace his 1978 and 1979 cars.
So if 94 and 149 were the 1980 cars, it further implies that Evans' 1981 car was indeed the 1979 Ralt RT1½ (i.e. RT1-149) and the car that Truman had in 1980 (and retained until early 1982 thus apparantly ruling it out as the Evans car) was Cicale's 1978 RT1-94 upgraded to 1980 spec.
But all implication only. Not sure where I locate the proof.
And I still don't know what was in the Marquey.

PS RT2-172 was the Bill Blackledge car. Gove's earlier RT2 "167" was one of the ex-Toleman cars.
