Our 1929 fabric saloon runs happily at 20mph in top on the level. Just as well really as The Borders Council have recently dropped 30mph speed limits to 20mph.
We have an 'Andes' 2nd gear which allows 40mph in 2nd easily and removes the otherwise huge gap between 2nd & 3rd.
The car goes very well on it's bronze updraught and I think it must be producing more than the nominal 10-1/2 bhp. It's happy at 50mph. The head I believe is the later low compression one and I think it's been skimmed though not in my time.
