OK. Porsche 904. Lotus Europa. In both cases a unit body made up of a combination of steel backbone and grp-over-foam. In both cases the grp provided significant chassis strength. There are any number of further examples in limited production street cars.
Marcos (Fiberglass and PLYWOOD) is certainly the most interesting of examples.
