There are three cars that appear in the early part of the 1973 season where chassis numbers are not known [those of Martin Webb and John Lepp in Atlantic, and Pierre Maublanc in the European hill climb championship. However, on the basis of appearance dates these are respectively allocated 5, 8 and 6 on the basis of appearance dates. Lepp’s car is the last to appear, so the highest numbered. The known history of chassis 9 suggests that Lepp ran the car in the early part of the Atlantic season because his own car was not ready, before returning it to the works F2 team.
Lepp then ran his new car through 1973, and it may have been the car he ran at the Estoril F2 round [even though this seems to have carried the plate from chassis 7]. Sold to Patsy McGarrity at the end of 1973 and used by him throughout the 1974 Irish Atlantic season, then sold on to his brother, Harold, and raced until the end of 1977.

The following is from the current keeper:

1973 - Classic Cars for John Lepp
1974 - Patsy McGarrity
1975 - Pat Woods
1978 - Paddy Farrelly
1985 - Jeremy Bouckley
1986/7 - Roy Lane
1989 - Mark Colton
1990 - Richard Budge
2002 - Keith Harris (the current keeper who hillclimbs & sprints the car in the UK and hillclimbs it in Europe).
In which case, what was the B25 that Harold McGarrity drove in Ireland in 1975 alongside Woods' car?
