Michael, the 270 mile journey from Stockport to Doune, Scone or Guildtown for the SA7c rally used to take us 10 hours start to stop including meal stops, calls of nature, etc. This was with two RN saloons and included about 50 miles of motorway (M60 round Manchester, M6 round Penrith and Carlisle) the rest was mainly back roads. I soon realised that driving a saloon rather than a sports model (and some moderns I drove for work) was much more comfortable particularly if you fit 1.5" spacers under the seat front supports which raises the front of the seat and lowers the rear. This lowers your line of sight below the wiper motor and supports more of your upper leg reducing the numb bum problem.
