Things you find when you're looking for something else, part 214 in a series:
Autosport 2 Nov 1989 p86: "Race of my Life" with Allan McCall recalling Tom Gloy's win in the 1977 Lady Wigram Trophy. It includes this:
"This was with the Tui, one of the Formula 2 cars which I converted to Formula Atlantic spec. There were four of them originally, but one was written off when Bert Hawthorne crashed and was killed at Hockenheim back in '72. One of the cars was kept as spare parts, which I never assembled, and one we ran for John Watson in F2. The car we took to New Zealand was the second car, which we never raced in Europe".
Interesting that Watson's car was not the second car. I wish someone the best of luck making sense of that. I'm sure there's sense in there, but it doesn't immediately leap out at me.
