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.
I just noticed a couple of things from Autosport reports that might be new. When Surtees enters two TS15s at Rouen in 1974 for De Dryver and Dieudonné and then withdraws them again, the spare TS15 then used by Watson for the race is said to be ex-de Adamich. Then at Mugello, Dolham's TS15-Hart is said to be ex-Mass; it's not clear whether this is a different one to the TS15-Hart he's driven in preceding races.
