Lexington Chevron B-25. Chassis may be either 25-73-01 or 25-73-03	Dave Charlton's McLaren M23 Chassis M23/2 Ex Peter Revson - Revson won the British GP in this car in 1973. Jody Scheckter also raced this car a couple of times


Dave Charlton's McLaren M23 Chassis M23/2 Ex Peter Revson - Revson won the British GP in this car in 1973. Jody Scheckter also raced this car a couple of times	Gunston Lotus 72. There were two Lotus 72 chassis at the race for Eddie Keizan and Guy Tunmer - I think. One may have been 72/R3 and the other 72/R6 ex Ronnie Peterson and winner of the 1973 French GP, 1973 Austrian GP, 1973 Italian GP and 1973 US GP - all Peterson victories! However there was a third Lotus 72 that went to SA - it was 72/R7 ex Emerson Fittipaldi in which he won 5 GPs in 1972 and 1973. This car was driven by Paddy Driver and Guy Tunmer. So I am unsure which 2 chassis were at Donnybrook for the race

Lexington Chevron B-25. Chassis may be either 25-73-01 or 25-73-03. This was an F2 Chassis (I believe) and one of the original 3 that made up the Gunston Team - the other car being 25-73-02. Possibly 25-73-01 and believed driven by Roy Klomfass?	Lexington Chevron B-25.
