Yes - I had an Austin 1800 with it. And unlike a spring/damper setup, it
tends to stay on spec throughout the life of the car - bar the odd pump
up. Unlike a conventional system where springs break and shocks wear out.


I inherited my Dad's Austin 1800

Then there was the time it was sitting down on the offside, so I
asked them to pump up the suspension. Turned out the engine mount
had failed, and its downward progress had been arrested by the
shearing off of a pipe stub on the main hydrolastic unit :-( £££
