Chris, I'm pretty sure the car Lees had from mid-78 was a B42, not a 782. Did well in a couple of Euro races, scoring points I think. At Thruxton that year, in Aurora not F2, he put the B42 on pole, was leading until quite close to the end as I recall, until he stopped.
At the previous Thrux Aurora he was in a 781, the car that Allison later had with RAM, and the one rumoured to be entering the Belgian GP with de Dryver that year, but didn't.
I think South did put his 782 on pole at the Brands August Aurora that year, before he sold it to Adrian Russell. Whatever happened to Russell I wonder, he was a consistent, if not quick, Libre/Aurora racer from end-77 to end 79, then just disappeared.
Slightly O/T, my mate Kim put his B35D on the front row at Mallory that year in the May Aurora race.
