D-Type should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

That is the main one as I don't think that Renault used production blocks.

Minor private entries in mainly non-championship races include:
Lotus-Ford
Lola-Ford
Cooper - Ford
Stebro - Ford
LDS - Alfa Romeo
Cooper - Alfa Romeo
Cooper - OSCA
Lotus - Borgward
Jennings - Porsche
Emeryson - Jaguar
Ferrari - Jaguar (the Biondetti special)
RRA - Jaguar (or Aston Martin - Jaguar)
Cooper - Bristol
ERA - Bristol
Frazer Nash - Bristol
Frazer Nash - BMW
HRG - Standard
Lancia - Marino
DB - Panhard
various BMW powered Eigenbau (German for Special)

And I'm sure there are others
