I'm also amazed by what I can remember about these cars, from a previous life... Anyway, I always thought that all the MkI, II and III cars were built by John Wyer's organisation at Slough. One of the few beautiful things to have emerged from that benighted place. Of course any racing team worth it's salt would take a new car apart and put it together again a few times, so you could say they were assembled by Holman and Moody...
