it's missing the March 761-7 Williams used in 1977, it's not on the March page either.
apart from that I could look at these for ages. without sounding cliche, it's great to see how they evolved over time.

I found a .jpg of all these a few weeks ago, turned into something I have to print out whenever they fix our A0 plotter (the actual size is 10700 x 8300 pixels, over 50mb. If you guys want it, I can upload it somewhere):

a few are missing, like my favorite '76 and '93 Ligier liveries, but it seems like they just didn't have room for multiple liveries/year

The lower shot looks like Martin Brundle's helmet. I think he was sharing the Ligier with Nakajima that year - from memory.

Right country, wrong driver, wrong year. He shared with Aguri Suzuki in 1995.
This car was from the infamous Brundle/Blundell combination of 1993, which must've given the French engineers a real headache when talking about the pair.

The Walter Wolf colours were more of a deep blue than black, and a different hue of gold. The Marlboro logo came from the Smokin' Cowboy himself Arturo Merzario, who carried personal sponsorship from Marlboro and drove for Frank Williams in that last season as a pay driver (his wild style had meant it was a steep drop from being in Ferrari's works stable just a few years previously) before the original team went under, Wolf set his own squad up, and Williams moved to a lockup down on Bennet Road in Reading, Berkshire (just under half a mile from my house), to begin creating history with Patrick Head.
The neat little FW06 appeared in 1978, with the Saudi logos and money they so desperately needed, and that was that. The beginning of a wonderful team.
