Jeremy Jackson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Michael,

Thanks for the long post! I'd been through a lot of the stuff you've mentioned already, but with no real conclusions.

However (Using "Time & Two seats", among other refs):

Mugello 75: Pibo/Gallo's car type is perhaps doubtful, as the car ran in the 130cc class (Italian champ. class I think), so may have been a a T29*, or anything really!

Spa 75: The Beckers/Brailliard T284 was Schulthess' chassis. He was originally nominated as a driver.

I mus admit I tend a bit wary of some DNAs, as they can be a replacement number for the same car that did turn up, or a figment of someone's wishful thinking....

As I mentioned, Schulthess' car was delivered just before LM74, so either of the hypotheses we've put forward previously may work for this. This car is (I think, possibly, maybe) now at the same museum as the fairly tatty-looking ex-Mallock T280 that we saw a while ago in this thread, it would be nice if someone could shed some light on it.

Then there was a T286 driven by Renzo Zorzi in 1979-81...

Cheers

Jeremy
