Chris Townsend should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Autosport race report for Brands race on 21.3 71 gives following chassis numbers.
Walkinshaw [1]; Williamson [3]; Goss [4]
This is debut race for Walkinshaw and Goss.
I don't necessarily disbelieve the number given for Walkinshaw AT THIS RACE, since it's quite possible that March loaned out the chassis intended for Eifelland if there was a problem with chassis 2.

Hurst at Chimay in 72 uses 713M with Richardson engine. Very full report of the race in Motoring News. When Hurst appears with this car at Zandvoort , 30.4.72, either MN or Autosport says the car is ex Bisignano.

Does anyone know which car was the one used by Anthony Binnington in 1972?

Walkinshaw doesn't appear the previous week at Mallory, although Ec.Ecosse has had the car [chassis 2] for a month then, based on March's delivery date.
I just think that F1R has done its usual trick of extending a single chassis observation across a whole season.
Two questions germane to this: When was the first appearance for Werner [or anyone else] in an Eifelland 713M? Are there any press reports of Walkinshaw stuffing a 713M in testing in February or early March 71?
