Nice to see it in its natural habitat. Does it still have an A-bracket at the back?

Very cool !
Early car with that grille.......ally panels too I would hazard a guess.

Hence my question about the A-bracket, or whether it's acquired the more robust later suspension.

Fairly sure all A-bracketed road cars were changed to leaf spring under warranty
Our car new ( £995 ) in 1965 was with Mk2 grille and Airflow, non ally with A brackets .......they were changed.
Apparently the Metalastik bushes wore and the whole car vibrated.....as though the windows were open at speed.

Watched the video. Didn't notice a front wheel off the ground at any time. Jimmy would not be happy. You must try harder
