ah. i thought that may be the case- interesting choice.

No. Some of the works rally cars were fitted with wide and quite soft reclining seats from saloon models for the navigator, at the navigator's request:
Looking at the rear suspension it looks as if the sway bar is mounted on the front side of the rear suspension. I have not seen that before. jlp

Seriously? Wow.....

That's the stock, factory, design and location for the rear ARB. If you take a peek under your HLS30-00029, you will see that ( if it's still stock ) the early north American market cars had no rear ARB fitted and no chassis-mounted 'U' brackets to hold it. However, the rear transverse links ( wishbones ) still had the indentations and reinforced mounting holes for the vertical stabiliser connecting rods.....

All markets other than north America got the rear ARB as stock equipment from the beginning of production. It was part of the core design of the chassis.

And to give some credit where it's due for the original artwork, it was drawn by artist Takeshi HOSOKAWA for Japanese AUTO SPORT magazine as part of a double-sided triple page pull-out, published in 1971.

I will roll under it next time I go visit it at the storage facility. When I purchased it, 29, it had the typical rear mounted bar, if I remember correctly. jlp
