The early RRs had the rear spring option what was called a “Police specification option” for additional weight carrying.
D1 had anti roll bars and also had the rear spring option now simply called “HD” for additional weight carrying, importantly the workshop manuals-parts catalogue mentioned that the rear ant-roll bar should be removed when HD springs are fitted.
My 3.5 RR rolled on some bends and on all roundabouts, it was something that I and other RR owners had to adjust to, but at least on the flat it was what we expected of the RR ride.
Then the 3.9 disco now had anti roll bars plus stiffer springs so didn't roll, and not a RR ride, but over the years that deteriorated slightly but again just adjusted to it.

D2's came with air on the rear, I did convert one to springs which was horrible (very thumpy) although it was totally road going
motor with no other mods arb was still fitted.

My immediate reaction was unprintable!!!Probably every time I take any one of my toys out. Tbh she hates them all wait till I take her out it the boat once

If she hates them all did she not "vet" you before she married you? My missus did, and she kneew what I was like. And she is into steam in a big way so we kinda compliment one another. She has also actually had more kit cars on the road than I have!
Unlike my French neebs where the W really doesn't comprehend his massiv interest in LR products as well as vehicles of older vintge!

I must admit I am a bit shocked it is only 2 landies.
Looks like you really liked your fast Fords. You'd get on with my middle Son-in-law.. Although he is also into Morris Minor pickups!
Anyway, she ought to have got what you were about.
It is facinating how many wimmins meet a bloke and think they can reshape him into something else. Total waste of time with me, and I suspect with you, athough you play along!!!

It is the sort of thing where, never having had them on the D1 nor on the D2, I don't miss them. I do have ACE, obvs, but shen it played up and I pulled the fuse I honestly couldn't tell the diff, even driving down the steep, twisty mountain road we have to use every time we go to the nearest toon for shopping etc.

Right guess it is time I left a bit of Grants in the bottle and wandered off to bed!
