Well you would have thought the 242 turbo as its the right era, however I think it may well have been the shorter 360 2 door chassis.

Failing that the older 262 flat roof coupe chassis.........

Have I covered them all James..............

Wait don't tell me the last DAF chassis 44.................

Ok I give up.................

Haha...some excellent ideas Gary

I only found this out a little earlier, but the 363CS was originally produced to be a test-bed for a possible homologation run for Group B. Essentially a 343 with a PRV V6 under the bonnet...no doubt to be turbocharged, if it had gone ahead...



cheers
