Cool ! Vintage saloon racing... that's exactly what I'm planning to do with my E3.

Apparently this car placed first in its class that year. Skip to 1973 below.

Love the body roll and occasional oversteer. Great photos!

This seems like a modern version of the videos you posted... these photos remind me of high school and inspired me to turn my E3 into a saloon racer... now if I can just get it done and get signed up for an open track day at Laguna Seca...
