Who's got the slowest car then?

[Bodo]

Try to beat that:
58hp @ 1800kgs
makes
32.2hp/1t
31kg/1hp
top speed @ 98kph/61mph
0 to 60 : lots of patience and a long way downhill

It's my 2¼ Land Rover Diesel, which is already tuned up from a 2.0 litre!

[Pete_W]

-faster than my TVR off-road mind!

[plotloss]

For my sins in a previous life I once had to run in a diesel Nissan Serena. This thing was so slow and underpowered due to the vast amount of steel and crap engine that during its first 100 miles one needed to put it in second to get up the cutting on the M40 between Juncs 5 & 6.

Besides the Tamora I've (girlfriend's) also got a 1960 Morris Minor!
You can't get much slower!

1965 mini 850 34bhp.

[flasher]

apache's Griffith should win this one, as he was the tail end charlie on the way to Le Mans......

[TdF]

My Wrangler Jeep must be the slowest, since i've owned my Chimaera it hasn't moved off my drive....6 months now

[smeagol]

A freind had a diesel automatic vaxhaul chevette. It needed written notice to acclerate and top speed was unknown. Its the only raod car I have got the giggles in 'cos it was so bad.

[Tabs]

Well, I've just put a brand new Skoda Fabia diesel on the road as my new taxi! Why? BECAUSE I LIVE IN NORTHAMPTON, AND WITH ALL THE CAMERAS ABOUT THERE'S NO POINT HAVING ANYTHING ANY FASTER. Rant over.

How about a 1979 LHD citreon van that has a 2 cyl 602cc. But it does have a twin choke carb,apparantly.

I guess yours is the only serious competitor to my Land-Rover!
D'oh!
Want a race?

[UpTheIron]

Slowest car?

I sold my Chimaera six weeks ago, and now don't have a car at all.

0-60 times? Not on my pushbike.

Your a bunch of sad gitts

[AJLintern]

Well my Peugeot 309 diesel (non-turbo) makes a bit of a meal of passing cyclists

[campbell]

[mattjbatch]

Mine's supposed to be slow but its amazing how fast you can go if you don't use you brakes

[pbirkett]

Damnit, if only I still had my Nova, I would of won this prize. You cant get much slower than f***ed.

[Esprit]

I suppose I can lay claim to the slowest actual sports car on here (its real slow in the company of TVR's or anything un-crap)... It's a mighty TR7 and yeah it's slow.... so wot? wanna fight about it? *runs away crying*

Nah seriously its not that bad, but its hardly what I'd call rapid.

Steve Cropley (Autocar) put a turbo on his.

I very briefly owned a much older 2CV which had a 375cc engine. It only went quickly when I advertised it in Exchange and Mart, to "CV fans it was the holy grail....it takes all sorts.

I think I can beat that. I used to own a 1954 Austin A30 with an 800cc A series lump, not sure about 0-60 as never went that fast
