All DNS at the restart, involved in the lap 1 accident:
#7/Barry Sheene/Hughes/A/Toyota Celica Supra (car was written off)
#12/Mike Newman/Burlington/A/BMW 635CSi
#40/Phil Dowsett/Drury/B/Alfa Romeo GTV6

#70/Patrick Watts/North Essex/C/Ford Escort RS1600i (another write-off)
#79*/John Morris/Brooklyn/C/Ford Escort RS1600i
*Both Brooklyn Escorts were involved in the shunt and damaged. I won't swear to it without looking it up, but the drivers may have swapped cars to enable Hodgetts to take the re-start in the less-damaged car of the pair- the other car being pretty much a write-off

(Gruen and GK-S both missed the original start with mechanical problems)
