The car had front disc brakes with independent front suspension using Macpherson strut units and at the rear the live axle used semi elliptic leaf springs.
A contemporary road tester was impressed, noting that "probably the most impressive thing about the Classic is its road holding".
It also had an exceptionally large boot with a high-lift sprung lid that made it an ideal car for family holidays.
