I began my car hobby with a Corvette and then got into a '50 TD. I had a '36 SA Saloon that I restored (not very well) that I eventually sold to the president of the local MG club.

Then on to a number of VW's.

Those being my creditials of sort, I can say that if the Germans used a cable, the English used a system of rods and bellcranks. The English used a substantial amount of wood in thier cars, I have yet to find wood in a Porsche except the footboards. The 'dampers' on early MG's were not worthy of a horse carriage, but probably came from one.

I know nothing of later cars from the UK. I loved the things for their charm and style. We're talking night and day here.
