My RP had a tendency to become a 'bit of a handful' when approaching it's top speed (about 50mph) but was perfectly manageable. Checking over the car the other week when I serviced it, I noticed that one of the track rod end pins had play in its bush - not a lot, but some noticeable movement.
Having replaced the pin and bush this weekend, (see my post on the "What have you done today with your Austin Seven") I went on a test drive today, and the steering is noticeably sharper and completely stable at all speeds.
Moral: make sure that all the steering pins and joints are in good condition first!
