The KP Special was based on Uno Jensen's Alfa Dana production car (itself based on a Cooper Mk IX). The KP had a standard Alfa Dana chassis but civil engineer Per Krogh of the Ecurie Centre Nord opted for a different suspension set-up. The front had a combined coil spring and damper unit with double wishbones, while the rear suspension featured pendulum axles and vertical coil spring and damper units, fixed at the top to a reversed wishbone-type construction which extruded from the bodywork into the air stream (making the car's rear-end look very much like a starved cow whose bones were almost penetrating the sloppy hide!). The K&P Special was initially raced by Viggo Petersen, but the car did not feature more than the regular Alfa Danas.
