These have four speeds. Slow, slower, snail's pace and stopped. 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.

Rolls Royces developed 'adequate' power in those days.

It depends upon your idea of what 'adequate' means.

They were real things, for a short while. I know one was adapted for use in sewers (not with the skip arms, tho) but with many lights

I saw that it was shit conversion

Adequate equals being capable of overtaking a 2CV. Being in a car that can't do this may get embarrassing rather fast!

Is this the same one that pops up every six months with terminal HGF?

One of our brethren went to look at it (if it's the same one) and it was proper shady.

My favourite American car ever for sale at a reasonable price

Fortunately, 'reasonble' does not mean 'attainable' so I'll have to be content with looking at the pictures for now, unless anyone wants to buy a Rover P6/ Citroen BX/ Peugeot 205 etc etc etc

Save this from being gobbled up by the Scotch.
