I want to daily drive them all. No burning here. Unless they set themselves on fire which is not out of the realm of possibility with a BL car. I would track the Wolseley. That sounds like fun.

DD: Rover

Track: Triumph

Burn: . . . something that’s not the Wolseley. It’s like a defenseless animal, you can’t harm it.

The Wolseley would be the DD because it is a high spec version of the Morris 1100 which in and of itself was a rolling lounge suite, I’d track the Triumph (mostly because my godfather had a metallic cherry purple one and it copes with a V8) and I’d enjoy the Rover until it caught fire.

Why? It’s not a Spit, it’s got a reasonably modern semi-trailing arm setup.

This is the correct answer. Unless you happen to have a spare TVR V8lying around, in which case it’s valid to track the Rover.

It’s a tough choice between the Triumph and the Rover, but the Rover being a 4 rather than the V8 clinches it. 2500TC it is.

I believe Triumph’s early rather crude trailing arm suspension suffered from lift-off oversteer issues. If I remember correctly, it’s one of the reasons why the Rover SD1 was fitted with a live rear axle, along with the P6 suspension taking up to much space and British Leyland cost cutting....

The twist axle on the Spit, now THAT is truly the stuff of nightmares...
