1963 Rover P4 110

I was hoping to pick up the Spitfire today but Hagerty closes at 1pm on Saturday and not open on Sunday ffs

My father said he preferred the Midget over the Spitfire, because the Spitfire rear suspension with its' Beetle-esque tuck in made the back end much less predictable when being pushed than the Midget.
He said the Midget was faster in the corners as a result.

I think that was fixed on later Spits?I

Mind you quarter elliptical springs on Sprites are meant to be interesting too

The late vitesse and gt6 got the rotoflex set up , i don't think the herald or spitfire did ,

[christine]

Anyone cut the retaining band off ,before fitting a new rotoflex doughnut ?

Maybe so; he only ever had mk 2 on up, so all standard A35 underpinnings.

Yes, but it wouldn't have gone on otherwise! Bloody PSA shite.

The MKIV Spitfire had a flatter spring and longer half shafts which improved it slightly.

This was a great thread, sad to see the P4 go, but as you close one door, you open up another.

Look forward to seeing something along these lines with the Spitfire.

No pressure!

Hey SiC there's a p4 for 400 quid on the beige. Not trying to tempt you but maybe you know someone.

That car is what started this thread but bailed out as too much work and ended up with this 110 I bought in the end! Tbh it probably was a good outcome as the other needs a bit too much work considering the project backlog I have.
