Nick & Moke, have you ever seen or heard of any Mini, even in racing or rallying, lifting a FRONT wheel during hard cornering on tarmac? I never have and find it most strange and am unable to offer a solution to a never seen before phenomenon.

Not before one of the rears has lifted and then it will be on a way to rolling.

That has to be soft/cream-crackered rear shocks/suspension doesn't it?

Some Ford Cortinas used to lift a front wheel, but I've never, ever seen a Mini lift a front wheel during hard cornering and still keep the rears on the ground. Indeed, I would have said it was impossible to get a Mini's front wheel off the ground during hard cornering and with the rear on that side still touching the road. Still, a photo of this would help to see what is happening.
