I agree with Sean, a properly set up V8 101 is a serious bit of kit. The ambulance in the first post sounds as if it is "off colour" to me.
The Vampire with the EW trailer "on the hook" runs at a train weight of around 4.5 tonnes. It will cruise in excess of an indicated 60mph if you want, I normally trundle along at 50 - 55mph that way I get about 9mpg.
To keep it original, [it is the only known one left in the world with the radios and a working 21 metre mast], I run it on bar grips and treat wet roads, especially roundabouts, with great respect.
All part of the fun!
Cheers
