If they'd kept the graveyard/cemetery off the roof like in the original advertising photos there might be a shot at 0.31.
Vixen was credited with Cd 0.295 and its basic form isn't terrifically different than GM's motorhome.Probably a model also.
Daimler is still doing models today.Their tunnel can't handle the length of the longer vehicles.
