[ROVERNET - UK] re Sport Sedans

[Robert Thornton]

 The Austin 1800 was touted by BMC Australia advertising campaigns as
"The Car of the Century". In reality perhaps that accolade was more
deserved by its smaller cousin, the Mini.

Yes, the 1800 did have hydro as did some Minis, though it's generally
agreed that the rubber cone suspension Minis always handled better (but
were not as comfortable as the hydros).

I had an Austin 1800 ...I think it too had the hydrolastic suspension.

Years ago I drove a Hydralastic suspension MG sedan.  Can't remember the

year or the year of the car.  It was fantastic! Took the curves as
if it was on rails.
