Minis DID have hydrolastic suspension in the mid-60s...they were
raced and rallied with hydrolastic. Competition versions of the
hydro displacers were made. At least one racer in the US whom I
know, tried to replumb the hydro system in various ways to gain
advantage on the track...and he was pretty successful, winning the
June Sprints a couple of times in a mini.
