2) Autosport 6 Sep 1978 p54. Tony Westwood is mentioned going well at Prescott in his "ex Godfrey Crompton March 77P".

Crompton clearly had cash so I doubt he would have bought some old bitza from Bloore. As it's more likely to have been built from new components, I've tentatively given this third 772P an identity of 772P ['B'].

As Westwood is one of the missing chassis numbers from the sprint championship records how are you actually going to record this 'third' 772P?

772P 'B'

or

772P-'B'

Thanks.
