Dave Greenblatt is a Canadian driver. I wonder if the car is the same as this 1960 Gorries Sadler Corvette: |

Glad you recognised the name. Googling it leads to the Dailu - "Canadian born David Greenblatt and Luigi Cassiani were the individuals who created the Dailu Racing Specials. A total of five would be created, beginning with the MKI and ending with the MKV. ..... The Dailu MkI, commonly referred to as the Dailu-Bardahl Special, was designed for Group 7 competition. It had a powerful Chevrolet V8 engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. It made its debut in 1962 at the Players 200 ...... In 1963 the MkI was burned in a fire at Nassau." - from this Dailu page which has lots of pictures of the Mk2, but nowt on the Mk1. However this - excellent - video of 1962 Players 200 has footage of the Mk1 - then in black - from 4-30 onwards and looks very similar. |
