[Fot] drag co-efficient and frontal area data for selected Triumphs

[Charly Mitchel]

I had always heard that the Jags were designed by the senior aerodynamic 
designers of the highest caliber, and when it came time to design the MG's, 
the gave the chore to the junior designers and the task of designing of the 
TR cars was given to the warehouse stock supervisor, hence the box like 
shape.
