There was a gap of a few years between National Saloons & the National Saloon Car Cup. The National Saloon Car Cup ran as a stand alone series for a while but is what became Class B of BTCC in 2000.

I don't think the Dunlop Sport Maxx Cup is "Super Production" but is similar to the National Saloons of th early 90s.
And we continue to confuse each other, I believe. I did not know that National Saloons and National Saloon Car Cup were two different series that you need to separate, as they both sound alike and the cars are built on the same idea. And add the different title sponsors (ESSO etc.), the confuse is total for a non-British.

When I meant about BTCC Class B was that it then came from the late 90's National saloons (where we saw Middlehurst in the Primera, Abbot in the SAAB 900/9-3 etc.). And all these national variations (DTC, Procar, the Asian series etc.) made FIA (or who?) to create the super production class so they formed some kind of "union".

And as already mentioned, SP was developed further by BMW, Alfa Romeo and Volvo for the 2002 season, but that's another story. As I also said, Sport Maxx is not SP but more like National saloons, but when you say there were two of those I don't know which one is more similar.

What year is that Toyota built? Around 1995-96 or earlier?
