Chris Townsend should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
There were two Mk17s in the race at Mallory Park 30 March 1970, for Sedgley [described as ex Barker] and Bailey. Presumably Barker's is the older car as it had been used by him in late 69. But at Silverstone 26 April 70 we have Bailey plus Taylor in a car described as 'ex Crook'. This has to be a 1969 car, but both Barker and Crook appear at Mallory, 10 August 1969. So are there two cars:
Crook - Bailey - Taylor
Barker - Sedgley - Bailey
Or does Bailey have a new car [03] for 1970 and the works spread the 1969 cars between Sedgley and Taylor?

Scott, does the chassis tag for Mk17 #1 say that? I know that Alexis had a different numbering system for their cars in the 1960s.
