To cover 1000 miles in ten hours on Italian public roads with 1950s cars was absolutely amazing. When Stirling Moss won in 1955 (record time), his navigator read him the route as he drove from a toilet roll (hard paper in those days) on which he'd made all his notes. In Italy, it was reported that his navigator was in fact a priest reading him The Last Rites as he drove.

The MC has a coefficient of drag of 0.37 which is a relatively high value in comparison to lots of modern cars. If it had a lower figure then the car wouldn't look as nice would it? The manufacturers chasing after lower Cd figures for fuel economy have made most cars far too bland to look at thesedays. Let's have nice shapes and lots of power under the bonnet to shove them through the air instead
