Carrying around all those "upgrades" - door windows, boot lids, thick seats,
door panels, padded dash, etc. that our better looking Bugeyes don't have.

Actually, I believe it's just fatigue after all these years. The leaf
springs probably have a finite number of "flexes" in them, and you've
exceeded that number. I've had to replace leaf springs in a bunch of
different vehicles I've owned, including my Sprites. I've never seen a
broken coil spring though, not to say that it can't happen. They just get
shorter as they age.
