Hi Geoff,

They may not have been, because they really held the road well. Braking could be pretty impressive too, given that wearing seatbelts hadn't become compulsory then meant I nearly had a very close encounter with the dash board once!
Dad sold the car to a mechanic in Torquay, and he drove it for a while until the prop shaft let go when he was going to a family wedding. The UJ gave up at around 65 mph apparently.

Reards,
