1936 Rosengart v Ruby

[Colin Morgan]

Interesting to see the change to the rear suspension repeated on the American car. Lord Austin was perhaps keen to keep the Seven as originally designed, whereas others were ready to make greater changes to the chassis? Staying with the original rear suspension kept everything simpler - but, as anyone who has travelled in a Ruby will know, it did allow significant roll - especially these days on roundabouts at anything above 15mph. However, as this is a defining characteristic of the car, I cannot imagine a Ruby without it.
