FEATURE : SPECIAL SALOONS GALLERY
Tony Hazelwood ’ s 1973 DAF will be back in 2023 with Andy Wilson

Special saloons of the 1970s

With the amazing V8 DAF confirmed as one of the cars that will be on the grid in our new Historic Modsports and Special Saloon series in 2023 , we decided it would be timely to take a glorious wander down memory lane with a gallery from the era .
Thanks to the fabulous archive of Jeff Bloxham , we ’ ve got images of some of the cars that the older ones of us will remember racing in Special and Super Saloons in the 1970s .
Please don ’ t forget that Jeff ’ s remarkable archive covers 50 years as a professional photographer . If you need a picture , or are looking at a research project , always try Jeff because he may well be able to help you . He ’ s also got a brilliant memory !
In the meantime , please enjoy this gallery and pretend that you are a youngster once more !
