I had an extended ride across Salisbury plain in Peter Ballard car, "Molly", now in the ownership of my pal Ian.
With SSL's front and rear ends the ride was remarkable: no "Morgan nod", no crashing in and out or ruts: just composed.
Ian said that other than a slight tendency to follow longitudinal ruts, such as where a cable tench has been laid and badly repaired, it is remarkably good.

I had a long chat with Peter about the suspension on my Plus 8, which he and Dan drove extensively, in early 2014 and have some very good pointers as to the best way to refine the ride, without harming the roadholding. It seems my car had Koni/Erbach suspension later cars have non adjustable SPAX coil-over units. As the suspension is now 41000 miles run and upgrade is due, Peter agreed to recommend SPAX adjustable units, probably with progressive springs.

The service this November will be costly as the front upright road joints also need replacing.....

Still cheaper than a new Plus Six! exting
