Yes Colin Hawkers DFV engined VW was awesome, but it was not a 'Beetle' bodied car but a VW Karmann Ghia, on the De Cadanet LeMans Lola tub ( see my post above). The Beetle at the time was Mick Hill's F5000 engined monster, later sold to Doug Niven. Super Saloons were awesome - great sounds and quick. Other cars I remember, Gerry Marshall's Baby Bertha, Tony Strawson's 7.2 litre Ford Capri, Nick Whitings Escort, Alan Minshaw's 4.8 litre Daf 55, Arthur Colliers 8.1 litre Skoda!! and Jonathan Buncombes 2 litre Imp. It was infact a Chevron B19 ( I think) just a plastic Imp body on top. Being so light it with only 2000cc it blew them all away, Gerry included, on the Silverstone GP track in '76.
