Does anyone has information on this car?

The Beaufighter of that era seems to handle the best because of the uprated springs and dampers.

But are you comparing apples with apples in terms of condition and the age of springs, dampers, bushes?

Even tyre type and pressures can effect ride and how they drive. I noticed a significant difference when I changed from the original steel wheels to Avon alloys on my 411. The Avons are wider wheels with wider tyres.

So for example if you compare a 411 with steel wheels to a 603 on Avons alloys that alone will make a difference in how they feel.

To my mind the only way to make a truly objective comparison is to use cars which all have their suspension parts in "as new" condition and are shod with the optimum wheels and tyres.
