I am restoring a 1971 mini 1275 GT with hydrolastic suspension, is it worth keeping it or swop to dry . Also has anyone got experience of driving a mini with hydrolastic suspension ?

Tricky to maintain as very few places still have the required equipment. Nothing wrong with dry though.

Keep the Hydrolastic it is a unique feature of your 1971 1275GT and Mini's with it are so much nicer to drive......also most of the 'Works' Rally Mini's won using Hydrolastic !
