I had a Princess with Denovos back in the eighties. They were terrible. Expensive, short-lived, huge unsprung weight, hard ride and if you went abroad you had to hire a spare wheel as there was only one Denovo dealer in the whole of France. My car was quickly converted to standard wheels and most other owners did the same eventually.JPB wrote:I it's a shame, IMHO, that there are so few original mini 1275GTs, Clubmen, Rover SD1s and Princesses on Denovos now, but dealers actually took them back and gave owners a set of five standard rims in exchange for the 4 Denovo ones that these cars were supplied with as supplies dried up while the cars in question were still being built.
