well that was my point JT that really this concept needs to be done year at a time to show the Evolution of the standard steel shell saloon car thru the modified stage to the special saloon/Superloon era and than into the sports car based/spaceframe era and then the natural change into Donington GT racing that was effectively a merging of the near defunct Modsports series cars and the Special saloon cars
but hey what the firk do i know about racing cars - they say if you can remember the 60`s you where not there!!
As Mr Brown ( kent) has pointed out above by going year on year we start to see the modified cars already appearing in the mid 60`s
It would be great IF anyone had photos of these cars?
Re Nathan and teh 1200 cc Climax Imp
i do recall reading about the car in an Imp book - The Imp engine is a cousin of the Climax motor so it was not a major task to fit the Climax motor into the Imp compared to some of the other hybrid cars running around then
