Peak torque occurs at 3000 rpm which fair enough is only 54mph in 4th and 66 
in OD 4th.  But the MGB has a very flat torque curve from 2000 rpm to 
4500rpm, only varying by about 8ft lb.  80mph is 3600 rpm in OD 4th and only 
2 ft lb lower than peak torque.  No way is mine struggling at 80, it will go 
over 100.
