to why Setright saws connections with his 2 Litre Bristols.

Citroen's brilliant Activa prototype used four wheel steering; Citroën Activa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. To my knowledge, they did not utilise 4WS in a production car.

May I ask, what do you mean by 'cars cornered better without it'? This comment crosses me as a tad ignorant.

I respect that you have personal experience of Preludes, though you have not stated whether they were 4WS models. Perhaps your son's final Prelude (the 'ugly' as you referred to it) had the optional 17in wheels? Mine has 16in wheels and the ride is quite acceptable. The car runs on regular unleaded; if your son's car was a 'grey import' car, intended specifically for the Japanese market, then it would likely use super unleaded.
