Dan Rear should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Thats very interesting re 4 B49s, I've mentioned on here before that I'd always thought Jeffrey's was the only one. How did the Opert/Tolama cars go in the US, and were they in the main series there ? There's certainly no mention of them in the 79 Autocourse Top 10 results.

I'm pretty certain Robinsons car was -08, he debuted it at Silverstone in Oct 79 Aurora, and it definitely looked like the one I'd seen at Donington with Devaney, and that EJ had at Phoenix.

Should we assi=ume that Huub did have 2 cars in 79, 03 & 07.

David, re the Jewell cars, were they both definitely B48s, or possibly B47s updated somehow. Brian Turner in Monoposto in about 85 had B47-08, I wonder whether there has been some number transposition here, as Bryan has B48-07 in Oz still. Also, we ssem to think Robinsons 08 was converted into a GT Esprit, I accept it could well have been converetd back.

Very very interesting !!!!
