This one's a bit tricky as Williams starts the season in his 752; then his upgraded 752/772; then the 772 and quite possibly a 772/782 before the end of the year - although I haven't found the last part yet.
I've tried to pinpoint where he first drives the 772 and Autosport kindly obliges (22 June 1978 p57) with a "first time out in his F2 March" remark. So that would imply that he had been in the 752/772 at Curborough 4 June, not the 772 as it says on BritishSprint.org.
I can't find any reference to it having 782 mods in 1978 so I'm going to change the specification on ORC to 772-Hart 420R for that season.
Edit: Also flicked through 1979 and Autosport keeps calling his mount a 772. I'm be fairly confident then that the 772P that you have for him at Talbenny 16 Sep 1979 would be that same 772-6.

Allen, I will have to check back on the Curborough event. In the Black Book it says it is the 752 however it is riddled with inaccuracies. I do have Williams in the 752 at the start of the season. Also at which event in 22 June 1978Autosport is the comment about this being his first time out in the 772?
Finally on my version of the database I have Williams in the 772/782 for the 1979 Talbenny event so I have instigated a cross check between my version and the on-line version.
Thanks.
