Cheers for that,

As long as every HGV on the motorway isn't having to crawl past me that's quick enough.

For a standard 1300l you'll get about 55mph top speed, high ration axles with standard tyres 65mph :)

Thanks for confirming that.

They should hold 50mph with ease. Even my rather tired feeling U900 will do that on the flat. I'm not sure of the law regarding the top speed of a mog in this country, but with all the high speed kit fitted they should cruise at 70mph easily enough?

Whilst it's not my main consideration can someone please tell me what top speed I can reasonably expect from an unloaded Ex military U1300 that is in good fettle?

As long as it will sit comfortably with HGV's on the motorway I'll be happy so I guess I'm looking for confirmation they will cruise at 50mph +

Thanks,

Mick.
