I remember seeing a story (who knows how accurate of course?) about an early Marcos with wooden chassis crashing heavily at Brands Hatch, with the wood splitting so the car was in 2 halves, and both occupants emerged unscathed!
Some call wood "god's glassfibre" Apologies in advance if that offends anyone's religious beliefs, as no offense is intended.
