Maybe. But I think that they will find the 1939 Schlör car's 0.189 Cd even more interesting!

No, I am not covering any modified cars in this book - that belongs in my Modifying the Aerodynamics of Your Road Car.

Having said that, the author of the cited chapter (Jeff Howell) is one of the reviewers of this current book, and he is being outstandingly helpful.

I am trying to wrap-up the aero history book up fairly soon, as my 'proper job' (training people in writing skills) is finally picking up post-Covid.
