Today, the closed coupés are among the most popular models, but the incredibly agile and quick open Group 6 sports cars derived from a cut-down B16 Spyder (Bennett’s response to Lola’s T210) enjoy a loyal following throughout Europe.The B31 was an evolution of the B26 and featured subtle changes, such as slightly redesigned fibreglass bodywork, but it retained the same basic aluminium
