I remember being overtaken by an incredibly fast Vintage Saloon in 1997 on the east coast road down from JOG
I was doing a steady 45 mph in the EB65 I recon the saloon was doing a good 60 mph. I though it had a supercharged Ulster engine in it.
I had already driven from Plymouth to Shropshire Via Lands End in one day, Shropshire to Fort William the next day, Fort William to John O Groats the day after. Then off back to Lands End with a night in Shropshire, then all the way to Lands End and back to Plymouth the next day.
The day after I drove back to Lands End from Plymouth to see the other cars arrive then almost back to Plymouth, I managed to seize the engine about 4 miles from home.
I have got all the 1997 times I did 34 hours including an overnight stop.
I spend about 17 hours behind the wheel on one leg of the journey stopping for pee breaks fuel and a sandwich which was eaten while driving.
My co driver got so cold he could not drive anymore.
