Opinion 3. Nugent's Argo was a JM3.
His biography appears in the 1981 Motor Racing Directory (p143) and it says:
"An Argo JM3 was acquired for 1979, but it wasd not too successful until properly developed in time for the 1980 season in conjuction with Argo. Mike called his car a 'JM8' although that number is allocated to the 1981 Formula 3 model."
Elsewhere in the directory (p466), Argo's models are given as:
JM1 1977-78 F3
JM1X 1979 Atlantic (converted JM1)
JM2 1978 FSV
JM3 1979 F3
JM4 1979 FSV
JM5 1979 Atlantic
JM6 1980 F3
JM7 1980 FSV
JM8 planned 1981 F3
JM9 planned 1981 Atlantic
JM10 planned 1981 FSV
However, this article describes Nugent's car as a JM5.
