Waht'll it do mister (the fastest Series thread!)
carbore:
OK its a bit quiet round here so......
Who has the fastest or Slowest Series.....
Mine managed 62 on the Satnav speedo (the main spedo is a bit bouncy!) , on a flat, possibly slight downhill motorway. No Overdrive on a 2.25 petrol SIII '71 LWB (no rear tub)
Obviously anything over 70 is recorded on the autobahn or a track day.
So whos fasted, and whats the spec.
Devon-Rover:
235/70 tyres, 2.25 petrol, OD slight downhill.......
75 on the GPS.
Not sure who was more surprised, me or the cars i overtook. :lol:

Indicated 65mph before I began to back off back down to cruise speeds (50mph), with an over-reading speedo (SWB speedo with LWB rims and larger tyres), so taking into account what the difference is it would of been around 70-75mph. This was on the flat with little head wind, and also after I had just given it a good service and wanted to see what it would pull up to with the new carb as well.
I also have an overdrive.
Jim-Willy:
3.5 carb V8 on rangey diffs..... I will never know its actual top speed but it fair shifts for an old un and has done 70 on the motorway :cool:
2.3 Cologne V6 standard diffs it is faster than my 90 to 50/55 but havn't been past that in her.....
