I was considering stock non sports cars on reasonably normal roads. I have only driven a chummy a short distance but was notably more lively then a stock 1935 Ruby I had at the time.The lwb 13 bhp cars are soon forced on to 2nd when progress is tedious and when the earlier cars should outperform. With the later head and SU etc much improved if the revs can be maintained. The enormous number of modified cars makes it all now confusing. I have observed few Seven runs but our local Jowett club runs used to degenerate/elevate into Bradfords fighting it out at a giddy 55 mph. (Years ago a colleague had a Bradford; compared with my RP it was like a sports car! no cornering roll)
