So I'm unlikely to convince them that the Disco couldn't have been doing 37 in a 30 in Slough the other day then. Doh.
The only actual road test figures I can find are for either a V8 110 or a
2.5TD 110.In LROi magazine they list the following but don't quote a source: - Ninety/One Ten 2.25 Diesel 60bhp @ 4000rpm, 103 lb-ft @ 1800rpm, 20-25mpg, top speed 70mph Ninety/One Ten 2.5 Diesel 67bhp @ 4000rpm, 114 lb-ft @ 1800 rpm, 23-28mpg, top speed 70mph

That's surprising. My (badly tuned) 110 V8 easily does 80, and I've never tried to see what the top speed actually is, although I've had an indicated 85 with some left, apart from up a hill :)
Is this a dig?
I have a 1987 110 with retro-fit 200 Tdi, Allard intercooler and GKN overdrive
Hmmmm, nice
Cheers C
Yep, I used to be able to get an indicated 80 from my 110 (2.25 petrol). Anything more & it got a bit frightening!
