The acceleration may not have been fantastic, but it had a high top speed.
In 1963-4 I was cruising up the M1 at about 100mph in my TR3 (as you did in those days) when I was caught and passed at a great rate by this car. Very quiet and a whiff of paraffin gave a clue to what this 'secret' vehicle was.
