Were there automatic hydrolastic Minis? If so anyone have a front sub frame?

The minimatics were modified deluxes out here I believe, so all were hydro.
I've been chasing an aussie auto frame for a while now, but people seem to just scrap them.
They do pop up though.

All autos in Aus were Hydro.
I think someone should start modifying manual subframes to take the auto. It would not be that hard, move the mount on the converter end of the frame and alter the front rail for more clearance of the sump...

Hey Ive got a dry and hydro one....and a car wif dry and a car wif hydro.
