I sold my '91 Cooper a couple of months back and thought the petrol heads of the forum might like to see what I've got to replace it

 

Very comfy, very French and absolutely gorgeous

As it left the previous owner

 

 

 

As it arrived at mine

 

 

 

 

It was also the subject of a comparison with a new Citroen - who won

 

 

Thanks for looking

whhyyy????   

 

no only joking actually it does look pretty cool, are they the ones with the button to adjust rear suspension height

[panky]

Old joints need a bit more space and comfort

Hydropneumatic suspension is on all four corners and the ride height stays at a constant height no matter the load in the car and is adjustable to a degree, you can slam it on the low setting but I wouldn't drive it far as it's on the bump stops  . Anti-dive geometry super smooth ride (I laugh at speed humps  ) and retro cool

[stuart bowes]

wafting over speed bumps would be a definite plus around my way that's for sure

[panky]

Waft is the word, lecky windows are very slow though but they're not hydropneumatic

 

Gratuitous mad switchgear shot
