There were numerous super saloon cars about in the late sixties and early 70's the Merfield Cortinas, Maudlings Corsair, Bennions Minor, Sanilands Standard and Tarrants A40 to name a few. Super Saloons was just a new name for cars that had existed for several years that were getting to quick for the average Special Saloon grid. These earlier cars were quite scruffy compared to the more modern ones and you have to wonder how safe they would be now.
