Should the post not read "TH rebuilds his Daf33 after lending the car to his brother at Cadwell in April 73"?
The Chris Meek escort went to Doug Niven after Meek found it a bit difficult to drive. Niven also found it somewhat strange until he asked Gerry Birrell what he thought. Gerry put a tape on it and the wheelbase differed 1 1/2" between each side. DN never actually went over the toilet block, more just through it.
Surely the term special saloon applies to any club level saloon from the early 60s, where the car was never actually built to meet any spec except the engine capacity and wheel width rules. The wheel width restrictions being removed over the winter of 70/71 (?). Dave Brodie actually overstated his engine size to allow the use of 10" wide wheels.
