Sorry should be clearer that the Smythe car is one thing and the Matthews one is quite another.
and the breakdown of appearance and owners looks like this:
The Prototype: Debut by Williamson [27.12.71] then works car for James Hunt [early season 1972]
'The Smythe car' Robin Smythe [2nd March 723 made its debut' AS 20.1.72 p. 4] So is it chassis 02?
'The Powers car' appears Brands FL 6.2 David Powers, sponsored by Fiddlers Three restaurant and used by others late season
'The McKechnie car' appears early March for Bob Evans; goes to Roger Keele 1973
'the Matthews car' appears early March for Stan Matthews
'The Mass car' ordered mid February, appears mid March entered by Ford Germany for Jochen Mass
'The Wheatcroft car' appears mid March for Roger Williamson [rapidly jettisoned in favour of a GRD]
'The second works car' appears mid March for Brendan McInerney later run by several other drivers when Hunt and McInerney left [including Jones and Jarier], perhaps the Cramer hillclimb car in 73
'The Compain car' ordered January, appears 19/3/72 for Patrice Compain
'An Eifelland Car' appears 19/3/72 entered by Eifelland for Hannelore Werner
'The other Eifelland car' also appears 19/3 Eifelland for Willi Deutsch
'The Wood car' ordered mid February, appears 1/4/72 for Russell Wood entered by Peter Bloore, Wood also runs a works car at times.
Is 'Robin Smythe' Robin Smith. I don't know. The latter was a Scottish sports car racer originally, so maybe not.
