<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Initially the suspension of the BMC Mini was built around rubber under compression. Later when the 1100 series (Austin, Morris, MG, Riley, Wolseley and Vanden Plas badged versions) the BMC Hydrolastic suspension
was introduced including into the Mini. </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Hydrolastic fluid itself was an equal mix of alcohol and distilled water plus a couple of other small additives to make it taste terrible as UK customs officials were concerned that people would drink
it. That’s a true story.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">It therefore had anti-freeze properties

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">While a fluid, to service the suspension a special gun was required to pump it into the system and unless you had one it was not possible to do it yourself.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In mid-1978 BMC or BLMC as it was known then, did away with the Hydrolastic suspension and introduced their Hydragas system.</span></p>

it on the way home. Actually, we were not at all drunk. It was absolutely pouring with rain and, driving down a steep lane with banks on both side, he aquaplaned it quite spectacularly. We spun round and round. Seemingly, on each revolution, a startled oncoming
driver would miraculously miss us. It was 50% inexperience, 50% stupidity. The devil looks after his own! I guess we were about 18 yrs old. Dangerous age.</span><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p>
