I'm not sure if that would fill in any gaps. My understanding was that Ken Crook's car was built from new parts but you've probably had the full story from Ken himself. Hugh Price, who is the Championship Chairman for Classic F3 used to race in F4 in that era and I think he had an Ensign. Bob Laughton was one of the more senior drivers in F4, or so it seemed to me as a callow 23 year old so he'd be getting on a bit now. Another useful contact might be Dave Pullen, Championship Chairman for HSCC Classic Racing Cars, he worked for Low Cost Racing in the Seventies so might know some detail. He doesn't do computers but should be contactable via Tenther Chris Sharples.
As for the Revoray, I thought it was a special that used Ensign bodywork, but I may be wrong.

Thanks Alan, turns out that Ken's car was built up on a new frame at Ensign in 1974 for Trevor Scarratt to run as an Atlantic, but he ran out of money and never raced it. However, it had started life as an F3 car in 1972. Thanks for the suggestion of Dave Pullen, I'll get in touch with Chris
