Chris Townsend should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

The Boisitz car at Silverstone is said by Autosport to be ex Dolhem; Meier's is ex Watson, but AS helps us more by describing it as the experimental car driven by Watson. This would make it, I guess, the car that Watson shows up with at Pau in 1974 [described as an experimental car with a three tiered wing incorporating water radiators] but probably not the car he uses previously at Hockenheim [described as one of last season's cars, and said to be the car driven by Dolhem at Pau] Bell drives this experimental car [005] at Hockenheim 9 June 74.

Dolhem's 1974 car is more difficult to identify.
At Pau he has the car used by Watson at the first Hockenheim
At Mugello, 14 July he has a TS15 described as ex Mass by Autosport
At Enna he uses Watson's spare after shunting his own in first practice and and Watson chose to use the experimental car [005]. Watson's spare at Rouen is described as the ex de Adamich car from 1973 that he never raced [Watson ends up using it in the race]

Meier wrecks 005 at Zolder and uses the Dolhem-Boisitz car at Nogaro [MN is wrong here; AS gives this] But at Vallelunga, according to AS he's back in the ex Watson car.
