F3-69-4 unknown

F3-69-5 Chassis number noted by F1R for car of Barrie Maskell in 1970, so by deduction formerly the car used by Alan Rollinson at 1969 British GP only and then Maskell later in 1969. 1971: Peter & Graham Bowskill (Monoposto) 1973: Fergus Tait [ex Maskell B15/17 AS 19.7.73 p.61] 1975: Probably f/s AS 10.4.75 p.58 B15/17 'ex Maskell/Crossley/Tait/Read' Low Cost Racing

F3-69-11 probably not built

F3-69-12 unknown until f/s AS 6.9.79 p. 69 B15.69/12 rolling chassis 'ex Peter Gethin'… Scunthorpe [my hunch is that this might be the Cyd Williams car see below]

F3-69-13 probably not built

F3-69-14 chassis number given Autosprint seasonal survey of 1972 Italian F3 championship Jolly Club: Massimo Corraza. Suggests one of three cars sold to Jolly Club in 1969

Unknown cars:
First Jolly Club, debuts in Italy with Mariella [4.5.69]

Second Jolly Club car debuts Rheims with Franco Conti 30.6.69, but might have appeared earlier in Italy (there are three Jolly Club B15s at this race) One Jolly Club car sold in 1969 to Sandro Angeleri [so it can't be 14 as they still have that in 1972]
Richard Scott, debuts 20.7.69 then 1970: Graham Lynch [MN 6.8.70 p.19] and John Finch
Terry McGrath late 1969, 1970: Geoff Bremner [AS] 1971: Deryck Cook [MN 13.1.72 p.19]
John Moulds late 1969: 1970: Bob Howlings

Can we fill in any gaps?
