Plus 2 Drag Coefficient

[Matt Elan]

Afternoon all
I've been looking into the drag co-effieicnet of the plus 2 and have found various sources that say it was eitehr 0.32 or 0.30. Anyone know the true value?

Probably higher than that. They would have tested models back then. A real car undercarriage would add drag, as would the non flush windows.
