I've been running MGBs and Midgets for the last 40 years and have never known a broken spring, either my own or anyone else's.

The design was different, though. The spring seat was flat and the last coil at each end was flattened and chamfered, so that it sat on the flat seat.

They were probably more expensive to manufacture, but breakages were unheard of.
