 In answer to Frank+s question about drag coefficients, I
looked thru my Alpine and Tiger Road Tests and I can+t
find any reference at all. I+m not sure us Brits would have
been into that in the sixties. The only drag I can
remember from those days was from a cigarette!
(ROFL) I just had to use it !!
