TS15-01 Debuted by Hailwood, 1972 Temporada. Sold to David McConnell for 1973. 1975 maybe the car that surfaces in the hands of Gerd Biechteler
TS15-02 Works car for Jochen Mass
TS15-03 Works car for Hailwood and Derek Bell. Possibly rebuilt into TS15A-03 in 1974.
TS15-04 Sold new to Graeme Lawrence [NZ] retained to 1975 then to Rex Hart. 1982 to Ken Smith
TS15-05 Rented to Hesketh for James Hunt. Returned to works and used in 1974 by John Watson and Jose Dolhem
TS15-06 Sold new to Peter Wardle for UK F.Atlantic. Retained to end 1975, then to Steve Carvill. Maybe the car used by Jim Ravenscroft in 1977.
TS15-07 Sold new to Bob Gerard for Robert Salisbury
TS15-08 Not known in 73-74. According to F1R the car used by Francy Jerancic 1975-78 in Euro F2 and may have been the de Adamich car which was never raced.
TS15-09 Works car Mike Hailwood
TS15-10 Not known
TS15-11 Not known
TS15-12 Works car Jochen Mass
Two cars are sold new where I can't find a reference to chassis number. One of these is to de Adamich, which isn't raced in 1973, the other to Takahashi Yorino in Japan - presumably these are accounted for by numbers 8, 10, 11
I can't tell you which works car was used in which race.
All numbers come from a mixture of Motoring News, Autosport, F1R and NZ Motor Action.
After 1973 there seem to be a lot of TS15s in Japan [any help appreciated]
They appear in the hands of
Matsuaki Sanada
Kikuo Kaira [this could be Sanada's car]
Masahiro Hasemi
Jiro Yoneyama [retained to 1977]
Kazuyoshi Hoshino
TS15A [1974] All except chassis 5 were fitted with BMW M12 engine
These numbers are more suspect since they come from F1R not MN
01. Works for Fausto Morello
02: Works for Guillermo Ortega
03: Works for Tim Schenken. Advertised recently from France with a history post Surtees of Yves Courage [1977-78] then Germain Drouet in hillclimbs to 1989
04: Works: John Watson
05: BDA engine. Works: Jose Dolhem, then 1975 to Pechek for Hans Meier
The only mystery car so far after this is the one owned by Otto Stuppacher and run by Ewald Boisitz in 1975 - though this might be a mis-appelation of the Biechteler TS15.
