Well spotted
Did you manage to speak to the owner?
Cheers,

Re: Spotted:
Dan, they are the long leaves out of a front and rear set in case of breakage out in the wilds.
You can get away with other leaves breaking - just pack something between the bump stop and the axle - but not the ones with the bushes as they hold the axle in position.
Cheers,
Robin.

Re: Spotted:
Yes, I did speak to the owner. He was nice chap, however one thing I did pick up on was that he didn't seem too keen on driving any great distance in it, which seemed a shame.
