As soon as I posted that, I knew someone would query it so I dived into the abyss that is google and managed to find this from the Goodwood site.

".....and brakes that work a bit – albeit only on the rear wheels – are handy when you have a 10.0-litre engine to reign in. Power is actually modest at around 100bhp, but there’s 480lb ft of torque and it’s available at pretty much any engine speed. That said, it only revs to 1,800rpm which in top gear (fourth) is good for 100mph. It also has four reverse gears… "

That torque rivals that of a lot of the seventies muscle cars.
There's an old saying; Horsepower sells cars, and torque wins races. ;-)a


The Captain and crew finally got their stuff together, now if we can only remember where we left it. :cool:

A real classic.
Reminds me of those early Greyhound buses and their curvaceous bodies.

Airstream trailers and campers are iconic, not just reminiscent of something.

Looks immaculate.
Just looked them up. Very impressive.

Thanks for the ID. It is quite the car. I'm glad people take care of them, and let the rest of us appreciate them from time to time.
