The Daren Mk.6 is the sixth and final sports prototype racing cars built by Daren Cars (now Hydrautug).
History
The Mk.6 would be the last car designed by John Green. The car would be sitting on a heavily modified Stealth B6 chassis, but the modifications would be so extreme it would share almost no parts with the B6. The car would be produced for the 1999 season of the British GT Championship, and would be homologated for the LMP675 class. The car would not be a qualified finisher for its only race, at Castle Combe, as it would finish 27 seconds after the winner. This poor result left the car shelved for the "foreseeable future" which turned into it being cancelled.[1][2]
