I should have pointed out that my TR3 road car didn't have a front sway bar, 
and that my TR3 racecar did have a front sway bar, so I was able to compare 
them. Of course, there were other differences between the two TR3s, but I 
put the spinning inside rear wheel characteristic down to having the sway 
bar or not.
