    best way to measure speed is using your rev counter (assuming its correct!) and calculate with final ratio.

    perhaps the extra doors make it faster?

    tbf, it's 23 years old and done 105k... I'm surprised it isn't dead let alone reaching over a ton on a very odd occasion!!!

    Apparently...

    1.2 carb 94mph
    1.2 SPi 89mph
    1.3 101mph
    1.3 SR 103mph
    1.4i SPi 96mph
    1.4i MPi 109mph
    1.5 Diesel 94mph
    1.5 TD 103mph
    1.6i 117mph

    No info on 1.4 carb or 1.0; I would hazard a guess the 1.4 carb being around the same as the 1.3 and the 1.0 probably about 85-90.
