1979:
McMahon has three cars initially:
Devaney [chassis 3?]
Jordan [rented to Rick Gorne at British GP] later sold to Amato?
Johansson
Roe [you say chassis 2 what is your evidence?] Run by John Clark not McMahon I think
KWS have three cars by 1 April 1979, one or probably two of these subsequently to Bross.
Trivatello has at least one car for Gianlucca Messini and possibly a second, since by 1982 there are two B47s running in Italian F3.
Chassis 8 appears for Devaney as a development car in late spring, and I think this was probably the works test car. Rented to David Warner at British GP and Martin McCarthy at the end of 1979 season. Rebuilt by Richard Brown to B49 spec in 1982 [and given plate from B49-02], then Chris Knapman, Dave Whitehead and to Pete and Sue Griffiths.
John Lewis appears with a car later in the season which may be built outside the series [he was mechanic at the works] or a rebuild of a McMahon car
So ten or eleven built if we include Lewis as a new car.
