As above please.
My answer might surprise you :LOL:
 
I reckon it's going to depend a lot on wind direction and strength with an overcab. This weekend with strong gusty winds I recon about 75 into wind 85 to 90 downwind if it's about 140 BHP. It would be a white knuckle ride!

Right conditions I recon 100mph is possible.

My Merc Sprinter based 6.7m low profile 3.9t will do 90mph without even struggling.
I've not tried on the Autobahns to see exactly what top speed is, but I'm sure it's around 110-115mph
110 - 115mph is that all :ROFLMAO: you want to get a 2.3l Fiat !

From someone I used to work with, they sent me a picture of their speedo reading in the 90’s!!!! And they had an unrestrained kid sitting between the front seats and it was raining 🤦🏼‍♂️

Don't forget your cab speedo over-reads by about 5% at 50-60 mph. I've no idea what it does over 80 though 😮

No one has guessed anywhere near close yet.
Which however is understandable considering how ridiculously fast Avon and Somerset police think my motorhome will go :ROFLMAO:

I’m assuming you’ve not been daft enough to try and find out and this is a hypothetical question 😀

I reckon it was over 100 but they only wrote 98 on the ticket to be kind, so you won't face a mandatory ban when the Mags decide the penalty.
