Autosport listed the cars in sufficient detail to identify them, but gave very few chassis numbers, Motoring News also described them thoroughly, and gave a few more chassis numbers, and Motor Sport listed chassis numbers in the results. Trimmer ended up using Emerson Fittipaldi's Lotus 72 as there were not enough engines available to prepare his intended 49C. Bob Sparshott was running the Clarke-Mordaunt-Guthrie March 701. MN noted that Jo Bonnier did not arrive.
