There were four different Thinwall Specials. Which one are you looking for? The final one was Ascari's Indianapolis car, I believe.

Tne ENB Emeryson, is it the Mk3 or the F1 here?

The Eifelland 21 was March 721/4.

Lola T371 and Hill GH1 are interchangeable terms. The 1975 car was originally announced as the Lola T371, but when Andy Smallman left Lola to officially join Graham's team (he was more or less permanently seconded there anyway, I believe) the car was renamed the GH1. Thus Lola T371/HU1 is the same car as Hill GH1/1. There were four built.

The OSCA 4500s were not built on Maserati chassis, but they did do one conversion for "B Bira", fitting an OSCA engine in 4CLT/48 c/n 1598. Although it won on its first outing, it never showed any form thereafter.

The Speluzzi-engined Maserati is identified in Sheldon as 4CLT/50 c/n 1611.

The Lancia D50 slowly evolved into the Ferrari 801. Along the way there were two distinct modifications, the first of which appeared in Argentina, the second at Siracusa. But there were also all sorts of strange hybrids, so trying to work out which D50 became which 801 is nearly impossible.

Thinwall Ferraris from an article by Doug Nye in Historic Race and Rally Feb/March 1993

(1) 1.5 litre short chassis - 1948 British GP, returned to works, Chassis unknown
(2) 1.5 litre two-stage supercharged long chassis car - 1950 Silverstone International Trophy. Chassis 125-C-02
(3) Same car with 4.5 litre unsupercharged engine. Easter Goodwood 1952 and seven other races. Broken up by Vandervell. Subsequently rebuilt by Donington collection
(4) Indianapolis type 4.5 litre car. Fifteen races. Sold by Vandervell to the Donington Collection. chassis 010-375

Of course, since then further information may have come to light

The '92 March is better known to us as Lotus 107 (or was it 109), IIRC.

Is that a fact or just a reference to Chris Murphy having design input as I recall into both??

Brabham BT60 >> Fondmetal GR02 >> Forti FG01.

Joe Saward's opinion? A "fearful pile of junk". http://www.grandprix...ns/ns00420.html

Here's a resume. it's still some ? that need straighten out
Shadow DN9 -> Arrows FA1 : Which of the Shadow chassis is it?

Copy maybe , but I don't think no Shadow ever became an Arrows

1978: Penske PC4 -> ATS PC4
1979: ATS PC4 -> ATS HS1

Forgive me if I am mistaken, but I was under the impression that the ATS team used the Penske PC-6 chassis in 1977 when J-P Jarrier and later on Danny On-the-gas drove for them. Penske withdrew from F1 racing after the 1976 season where John Watson managed to win the Austrian GP for them.

Am I mistaken ?

Although I seem to recall Don Nicholls ended up with all the FA1 chassis after his legal action.
Wonder where they went?

Basically for 1978 a good 70+% of the Shadow team revolted or "mutineed" against Don Nicols and formed the Arrows team. Don then proceeded to take Arrows to court where he apparently was able to prove that the Arrows team had "stolen" the design of the Shadow (if not actual physical materials) and forced the Arrows team to perform some hasty re-design of their existing car so as to thwart and further legal challenges as to the design of their car.

The Penske PC6 was an Indycar. The ATS team used PC4s. Full chassis details on Allen Brown's Old Racing Cars site:

Not F1 but, Ralt RT37 and Gould GR37

2006 Honda ------> 2007 Super Aguri

I seem to remember from a Don Nicholls/Shadow thread last year which reckons he still has them stored.

Arrows 2002 >> Super Aguri 2006?

Yes you are mistaken. ATS bought the Penske team and ran their PC4s for a season. Robin Herd then did a significant redesign of the cars and they were called ATS HS1s in 1978. However, ATS HS1/1 built from Penske PC4/1 under the skin and ATS HS1/2 from Penske PC4/2. ATS then built a third car which first appeared in practice at the Swedish GP which was said to have been built out of spares acquired from Penske with the original pair of PC4s.

You are mistaken on a number of other issues. In 1977, Ongais drove a third PC4 that had been built by Penske and had been sold to Interscope. This was nothing to do with the ATS Wheels operation. Jarier was the main driver for ATS in 1977 but Hans Binder drove the second car on a few occasions. Also, as has been pointed out earlier, the PC6 was an Indy car, not a F1 car.

Penske PC4/3, ex-Ongais, is now in the Penske Museum. Penske PC4/2, which I saw still at the ATS factory in the 1980s, is now in private hands, currently being stripped of its ATS modifications.

The first all-new ATS was the D1 which appeared late 1978 and was reworked as the D2 for 1979. The D3 was new mid-1979 but was itself renamed as a D4 for 1980 - but then after two races of 1980 the team produced an all-new design called ... the D4. So Autosport ended up calling them one thing and Motor Sport another. This is why so many web histories of the ATS marque are so confused.

Jarier was the main driver for ATS in 1977 but Hans Binder drove the second car on a few occasions.

Jarier / 1977 British GP, Silverstone - ATS (Penske PC4/02)...
