All that survives of the 1972 March factory records is this summary sheet of sales of
cars mostly made after the end of the season.
This shows 722-8 as sold to J.T. Gridley on 19 October 1972.
The veracity of the sheet is confirmed by the known, independently
observed histories of four of the other cars listed on the sheet:
713S-1, 713M-8, 722-11 and 722-5. All had their chassis numbers observed with their
second owners in 1973, but that data has never been published.
