I have now been able to obtain from definitive data on TR6 emergency stopping
distances. The car in question is a UK spec TR6PI with overdrive and wire
wheels but the actual weight of the test car was not stated.

Data as follows to the nearest whole unit of measurement:

IMPERIAL
 30mph - 0mph    30ft / 10yds
 60mph - 0mph    162ft / 54yds
 70mph - 0mph    210 ft / 70yds

METRIC
48kph - 0kph      9 meter
96kph - 0kph      49 meter
113kph - 0kph    64 meter

The source is Motor Trend magazine testing a 1971 model. No figures are given
for repeatability
