The Dailu Mk II, was a fiberglas coupe body made for me in the US from the identical space frame chassis of the Mk I. I built the Mk II for Peter Lerch. We then modified the body into a roadster. Peter ran this car very successfully in 1963. (John ran the car in its maiden race at Mosport and won....... of course)
Peter flipped the car at the end of the season, rebuilding the body to what it looks like today. It resides in California and won the Monterey Classic in 2000.
The Buick car was the Dailu Mk III, a ladder frame chassis, our street prototype, built also in 1963.
Buick division gave me a new engine for the car, (not yet in production)..... 425ci/450+hp.......
Both the Mk II and III were entered at Nassau in 1963. The engine on the Mk II blew before we even hit the track and John C., in a early pit stop in the Mk III, turned off the engine in the pits, but to the acc. side of the switch which kept the fuel pumps active(OUR screw up... not his), a carb back fire started a minor fire burning wiring harnase and we had to retire........ SHAME !! :'(
some pics of Mk II and III attached
