Hi all,

 

I'm the happy eventual new owner. A couple of questions Marcus if I may?

 

Is the suspension simply wide track all round? You mentioned extra wide track rear in the advert, and before I change the suspension (to raise it a bit for the dreadful Scottish roads). Don't want to buy what I think it needs to find they're something special.

 

Hope you can help.

 

Tony

Hi Tony and welcome  :t-up:

 

Car has standard front track, extra wide rear arches which have bespoke factory wider wishbones (about 60mm wider each side iirc) you may have to measure the car for new rear shock lengths because of this, rear spring coils are very close to chassis rail as well - you will see this when you remove the boot cover/box.

 

I fitted harder springs on rear to stop wheels catching arches.

 

As far as Scottish roads are concerned I have done not 1 but 2 tours around Scotland in it and only slightly caught the mid chassis hoop a couple of times on the most remote of Northern Scottish roads whilst fully loaded with passenger and luggage - its the speed bumps which are the ones to watch out for.

 

Ive a couple of copies of mags the cars been in PM me your address and I will post you some copies  :d

 

Marcus
