Handle like a modern day car, haha when I got my first tramp roadster 16 years ago I thought it must just be my buggy that drove like that,I have an apal now and use it every day and when I get back into my 3 ton ldv van it feels like a rolls Royce to drive :)

I dont find a problem with a 40yr old car handling,  maybe it needs the suspension sorting . the worst car I,ve driven was a peugeot 205

I guess if no one has ever driven a buggy (even one as well made as Lil's old one) and are only used to modern cars now, it would be a bit of a shock driving one. We soon get used to them now though.  ;-)up

I liked Lils first buggy, the RED9 front end was excellent.

The cars done so few road miles maybe it just needs the tyre pressures or dampers looking at?
