I recall as a small boy playmates being very impressed by the 80 mph speedo on my Dads RP!
Incidentally the speedo later proved conservative, reading lower than various "moderns" compared with, so I suspect the top speed on true level no wind of 50 mph was accurate. On a regular 60 mile trip I used to acheive point to point times favourably comparable with my father in his 1952 Hillman but keeping to 50 mph indicated.
