Re: BN1 speed

["davidwjones" <davidwjones@cox.net>]

Didn't I read in several books that, one of the main reasons for the folding
windscreen design on the BN1-2 was to reduce the drag enough to allow the cars
to reach a top speed of 100mph, --giving credibility to the Healey "Hundred"
model naming?

Is that just "lore" or true?  If true, has anyone gone on a top speed run in
recent years -each way, and determined how much difference having the
windscreen up, makes?
