Surtees TS 7

[Davhut]

First race for this manufacturer...Watkins Glen 1970 with Derek Bell in background. He finished sixth for the team's first constructor point.

So this will be chassis 01, then? Just 2 built according to Oldracingcar.com.

Well, first US race anyway

That's right. I think this race was the first time there were two TS-7s.

I too just looked at the car nearest the camera initially. On taking a second squint I noticed that BOTH TS7s were captured on film!

So which one is 01 and which 02?

Surtees drove the front car #17. I can only assume it was the original debuted at British GP

I was at the British GP at Brands that year. Nice car the original TS7, John Surtees drove it to victory in the Oulton Park Gold Cup in September (I was there also) prior to its trip Stateside!
