no wish to nick somebody else's good idea..but how about the numbers game confined only to the numerical designation of racing/performance cars...ie McLaren M(1)A, Chevron B(2), Kitchiner K(3)A
Aston DB(4), Milmor Mk(5), Isuzu R(6), Lotus(7), Mallock Mk(8), Dulon LD(9)etc...how far can we get..oh,and keep them obscure where possible....not all Lotus numbers please ! Starter for 10 then...

Was it interconnected front top rear or did it have pipes that were plugged like the racing Cooper S's (how do you do the plural of Cooper S??) of the period.

Dunno - according to David Hodges it was a prototype only but it was very difficult to set up and never raced. Hydrolastic was offered as an option on the T65 - I doubt any were built with it though!

Don't forget the "MG Liquid Suspension Specials" that raced at Indy.
