Re: Possible purchase - WHY?

Many thanks for details - very useful info. I am keen to try out a car on offer at Trophy Cars tomorrow, which will be a TF. I have not driven a TF but know that they have the more usual coil springs, but that they had pretty solid springing! So much so that they produced a 'softer' ride version lat...
