Shared with fellow BRDC lifelong members Ray Mallock and Mike Salmon for the Willhire 24 hours races 1985 and 1986
‘Piff’ (Mountune)-built engine, original alloy cage, bag tank with twin ATL dry break fillers – just as it left the track in 1986
Unrestored condition. Reported to start, drive and stop. A piece of British motorsport history
Not sure where to place this but I came across this promotion “Free Digital Copies of All Wheels Magazines from 1953-2019 @ Bauer” at ozbargain;
Then went and did some searching for “Daihatsu” and there are a lot of gems in there but this one is a real trip down memory lane;

I imagine this is probably most of us during this world melting episode of life

I have a rough where abouts of were 1 10mm socket is atm. Funny thing was I knew where all 3 were last week lol
only way to go is a decent electrical generator to power the vehicle, with batteries are a reserve.
Why not have a small gas turbine running a generator powering a high power electric motor?
Gas turbines are highly efficient and run on just about anything.
Full credit to @DeTomasoTurbo for this find. I’d never seen it and a search on the forum shows it had not been shown/talked about before.
wow that is awesome and a great light read also I wish these had of come into production.
Here’s an interesting pic I found.
Hans Tholstrup was flagged - off by NSW Minister for Roads Mr. Paciullo at the Opera House today for around Australia journey with Diesel engine Daihatsu. The consumption of car supposed to be 100 mpg (2.38L/100km). January 29, 1984.
The 100MPG Daihatsu
I wonder what happened to that car?
that is a huge “round of applause” 
They are all so… White.
The TAFT (mini crossover) is now shipping in countries where Daihatsu has dealers. Here is some info from Jan 2020
