We've also discussed the Crompton 772P on a few occasions. I spotted two references to it in Autosport.

1) Autosport 10 Aug 1978 p45. Godfrey Crompton has bought a "newly built March 772P from Peter Bloore". He also bought a 762 from MRE for its Hart and sold the 762 on to Turnbull.

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'].
