If I was to change up from second to top at 2,400 rpm, that would be around 20mph; at that speed the engine is only just getting into its stride, and by the time top gear is engaged the engine doesn't have enough power to pull the skin off the proverbial rice pudding!
Edit: I should add that the engine is to entirely standard 1931 specification.
