I too wondered about the calling out of JM8-044 as Nugent's car as he has his Argo in 1979 and the JM8 was the 1981 F3 car. 1979 should make it a JM5. It's retained 1980 but then disappears 81. However, my records of Irish Atlantic in 1981 are decidedly thin, it's quite possible that Nugent got a JM8 for that year. Given the competitiveness of the JM8 it's entirely plausible that he would not figure in any results!
Remaining problems:
Nick May has a JM5 October 79 at Brands Atlantic race, perhaps on loan from works. This might be the Rackham JM5 which then goes to Jim Blackwell.
Nick Adams has a "JM6 " October 80 at Brands Atlantic, also perhaps a one off works loan with a view to the following year. I can't see where this one goes. Chassis number 044-F3 works as well for a 1980 chassis as an early 1981 JM8... [Both 041 and 042 were early 1980 F3 cars for the works and Colin Thorpe]
JM9s - only two
056 Arnold, then to Jim Blackwell, Marty Knoll, Terry Edwards, and A/X
057 Goodwin Racing, then unknown to Neil White [h/c 1995]
Agree that we have at least three JM11s.
Any offers on JM12 Super Vee?
