Something funny about the rear axle thing. I read an archived article about a 1962 Cobra road test done IN 1962 (magazine is now defunct). A picture shot down low to the ground showed the car with a "live" axle. The third member was clearly visible and I could have SWORN I saw standard leaf springs!

1. The magazine screwed up (that happens you know, pic of one thing identified as another)!

2. Some of the VERY early cars had a live axle and twin springs?

3. Did ANY of the AC Bristols come with leaf springs (PLURAL) and a live axle? Or were they too with a single transverse spring and IRS?

Didn't know the Salisbury was a Dana like unit. Oh yeah, they don't get any tougher than that! I always wondered HOW those "British" rear ends could handle all the torque!
