We had better not talk about the BLMC "Land crab" on here then. Although I can remember a couple of rally one's, and I also seem to remember Paddy Hopkirk coming second in the 1968 London Sydney rally in one. Although I don't know if that particular car was fitted with with hydrolastic suspension for the event. No doubt some anorak will soon tell us.
We used to have on our test route a terrible potholed road that we used to find noises, and you could drive the 1800 flat out in top gear over them and compared with the other BLMC cars at the time A60s with crap lever arm shocks (that were always knackered) wasn't a bad handling car, and far better than the Maxi (yuk)!!
