I have no idea how they got so little power from a 3.1l engine. I imagine something as crude as combustion would be a source of noise and vibration so they minimised it. As for speed, a hearse version was used as camera car in Thunderball when the BSA overtook Bond’s Aston DB5 and blew up the Ford Galaxie. It was filmed at Goodwood I think.
