Peter et all
I guess I started this so here's the rationale.
Based on real world experience with a TR3A WHICH SPENT ONE WINTER UP ON
STANDS (MID OCT. TO LATE APRIL)
It was found in the spring that the weight of the hanging suspension had
stretched the coil springs such that the car rode noticeably higher than
when it was put away. It took two full years for the springs to regain
their original form. (thinking back, he may have replaced them ) Car
belongs to a friend who has had it in the family since new (61) Has
close to 300,000 on the clock(s?). Still uses it regularly.
Cheerio
Don
