Maybe a question for our mature members, from about when did home builders start using telescopic dampers on their specials ? I know various race cars had them in the late 40's  ... mainstream cars mid 50's ? Chapman with his specials also mid 50's ...

still trying to guess when my car was converted to a special

thanks Matt

Hi Matt

LM Williams book on Specials was first printed in 1958. It refers to telescopic dampers.  So I guess it must be before then.

Cheers

Howard
