The early roadtests of the TR2 and TR3 give some graphs from which the Cd can
be back calculated.  I did this some time ago. Unfortunately, the numbers were
not consistent from road test to road test.  For example, why could a TR2 with
85hp go 108mph and a TR3 with 100hp go only 100mph.  The frontal area is 15.5
sq ft.  The drag coefficients ranged from 0.47 to 0.63.  I believe 0.52 would
be a good number.  I can share the spreedsheet if anyone is interested.

I thought this might be of interest.

Does anyone know where I can find similar
data for a TR3?
