The weight might affect how fast you get there but as Ian notes a good engine will get you there-
I have had the Austin Standard Sports with an SU on a mildly tuned engine up to 100 kph on a nice flat road !
The Fabric Saloon with updraught Zenith on a completely standard engine will only reach 70 kph - scary enough.
