[/ QUOTE ]In fairness, this is a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison. Jack's car was a solid-axle TR4 and, as I've been given to understand over the past several years, the victim of an axle design that was reasonably sturdy in 1961 but not up to the rigors of 40 years of vastly improved tire technology, etc., putting far greater stresses on the axle than were ever seen or anticipated "back then"!
By the way, that car was a DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS car, in every way as "show-worthy" as it was race-worthy!
