- Question to the list What is the maximum speed for a 1955 BN1? The max speed of my car is only 80 mph, is this normal? Thanks Manuel Sanchez 55 BN1 58 Bug

- Manuel, contemporary road tests pretty much all have the top speed at somewhere slightly over 100 M.P.H. Don't know if these cars were totally stock, or had a little extra oomph as test cars proviede

- Hi Manuel, the AH 100 "ought to run approximately" 100mph (that's why it was called AH 100!), but it's heard of reaching this speed only on downhill passages. Eric BT7 Heinsberg/Germany --Urspr|nglic

- Au Contraire! I had my BN1 up to 100MPH (by the speedometer) on route 8 in Winsted CT back in 1995. It was stock at the time. Now that its a racecar it will do over 120. Manuel: if yours will do only

- 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 cr

- I have a stock early BN1 with Spiral Bevel Axle and it will easily surpass 80 mph. I haven't taken it up to 100, but it has plenty of power at 80 and I think it wouldn't be too difficult to get to v
