Yes, you are right about the pram irons on TSK 490. When we got the car in 2002 they were still upside down (sorted now). The car had all sorts of oddities, and having zero experience with Sevens, it took several years to discover them and sort them out. At various Beaulieu rallies one would encounter gents stroking their beards and overhear them muttering that such and such wasn't quite right !
I remember the first time filling the tank, and being greeted with a flood of 4-star under the car from the overflow whilst waiting in vain for the pump to cut off, such was our naivety.
She also handled rather oddly, which we eventually tracked down to the rear tyres. Despite both being nominally 4.5 inch section, they were of different makes and about an inch different in diameter. With new tyres, everything settled down.
