Yep, had a Hawk in between, but the handling was a bit, well 'steroidal MGB', and had more mid corner body roll than a Chevy Malibu; but thats what you get when you throw lots of corners at a live back axle; only fit for boulevard cruisers and farm vehicles!
The Hawk 289 was a really nice car period correct wise, much better than the RAM in that respect, although the Adrian Reynard chassis that the RAM had was the better ultimate road holder/high speed cornering tool of the three; very flat and neutral if a little hard; but the Crendon aces them both IMO; with a great blend of sufficient rigidity yet compliance. Wilf lives about 30 minutes from me, his Crendon convinced me it was the way to go.
