My first LBC was a 67 MkII Sp**fire (1147 screaming CC's with a factory
header!)
Let me tell you it did not require brakes and a sharp jerk to get the car to
tuck under. A bump or iregularity in the pavement in a corner would do this
quite well. To be nice the handling was "quirky". The final cure was a set
of Koni's on the rear that prevented the axle from droping far enough to tuck
under. That car was many things, boring was not one of them!
