Must have been something wrong... here is some TR6 brake performance
information that a friend passed along, these are British Leyland's figures
for the vehicle. For a normally loaded properly functioning car you should
see about 180ft from 60mph. With a crippled brake system, with a
malfunctioning brake servo and only one circuit of the brakes functioning
(assuming the front brakes), 385ft from 60mph.
