It wasn't limited when it arrived and had a 5-speed gearbox so was very fast. We took it to a bus rally and it left everything behind on the motorway.

In later years it was de-tuned somewhat to help pass emissions testing. That was a disappointment to everyone who drove it.

I well remember taking it on the S45 Bromsgrove to Barnt Green schools - came back via the M42 and M5 and enjoyed overtaking lorries on the motorway. The look on the face of a car driver as I passed him at 65 was a picture. I think that I did Barnt Green to Padmore Street in just under 30 minutes!
