Hi Rockers,

The car in the photo is not a Daimler Dart.I had seven Daimler Darts in my time and they did not have a flat topped rear wheel arch.The car in the picture I would guess is a Ford 10 Special with a Typhoon fibre glass body,but it is only a guess.

Kind Regards

That's what struck me when I first spotted it, a Ford Special with fi-glass body. My father had a Ford Ashley-bodied special, it was mounted on the Ford Pop chassis I believe,  and if you look carefully in the pic I think it has the Ford Pop wheels.

I had the same thoughts (Honest officer )

The two-tone paint doesn't do it any favours.

Poor picture but possible
