The problem is this: 35-01 and 02 go to Trivatello. F1R notes 01 as Lovato's car and 02 as Marazzi's in 1976.
02 appears as Patrese's car early 77 according to F1R. This car destroyed in big accident at Nurburgring. [Though being ex Patrese probably now exists in at least 4 authentic versions through imaginative use of screws.]
MN Feb 77 says ex Marazzi car sold to Barton
Car destroyed Ingliston: AS 12.5.77 p. 55
Now, either F1R is wrong in assuming 01 to be Lovato's car all season in 76, having observed it at one British round [and that wouldn't be a first...] and Marazzi used it, or MN is wrong in calling the Barton car ex Marazzi and it's just a Trivatello chassis.[One of us cannot be wrong, to quote the great Leonard Cohen]
I think we could say that Barton's 77 car is 01 and Patrese's 02 and that both have effectively ceased to be by the end of May 77
