I've received an email indirectly from Allan McCall which says the original Tui was converted to Atlantic with a Hart BDA and was the car then loaned to Jim Murdoch, an old friend from NZ.
So it would appear that the Hawthorne F/Atl non-appearing "Leda 2E" was an intention to run the original Tui as an Atlantic and then Murdoch's appearances from late summer 1972 onwards are also the original Tui. So not ex-Watson at all.
The original Tui then headed off to Switzerland less engine in 1974 for a hill climb project that never happened.
