It would also raise itself when driving on a bumpy road. When you came to a standstill (say for a traffic light) you could feel it adjusting again to normal ride heigt. Maybe the next ford gt generation can do that too
I could be wrong about this, but a friend of mine had a Citroen in the early seventies that was about 10 years old at the time, and I remember him displaying this feature. It might have been manual but it increased the ground clearance a lot.
