Great article on John's Daimler Dart race car in this month's Classic Cars.
This is the car John shared with Andy Shepherd at last year's Revival and which features again in the upcoming GRRC 73rd Members Meet.
For those of you who don't know John, he provides the technical help behind our website and forum

Colin,
Thanks, it was a great (but wet day) @ Brands. We were back at Brands today, getting closer to the Daimler being ready for Members meeting. If anyone is coming along, please give me a shout. We will be in the Les Leston Cup, qual on Saturday and race on Sunday. Andy will be driving again, he is so good. I have never seen anyone take a car so fast around a track. The best bit today was Andy following a Ferrari trough the bends at Brands and the Ferrari struggled to pull away until the straights. We did 30-40 laps today, had a few issues but nothing major.
