I'm just tidying up some details on March 722s and have revisted Robin Smythe's March 723. This car was used by Smythe as a F/Atlantic on a few occasions in 1973.

Smythe seems to have been pretty close to Reg James who drove Smythe's GRD on occasions in 1974 and also put his name to the BDA in the back of that car when Symthe drove it once in 1973.

Also during this time, James drives a March that is described as a 722-BDA in 1973 and as a 723-twincam in 1974. So I'm wondering ... could this be the Smythe 723?

By the way, I looked up Robin Smith's bio in the Kettlewell Directory and it makes no mention of F3 and F/Atlantic GRDs and Marchs so I'm confident Smith and Smythe were different people.
