I agree but the Beaufighter uses different springs to the 411 and changes to wheels and tyres were part of the upgrades over time.

I'm sure that you could add all the bits from the latest Blenheim to a 411 S1 and get it driving just as good, but isn't that a Series 6 ? :-)

Funny enough, next to the Beaufighter my 411 S1 with S2 wheels and 215 tyres handles the best of the 411's , even better than the ones with Avon' wheels on ! But like you say, after 40 years various owners have probably done a lot of tweaking for the good and bad and a set up that is right for me may not be to someone else's taste.
