Found this a fairly interesting article in one of my local papers. I guess it makes a good headline, though the story itself is probably not that remarkable in the grand scheme of things.
Knowing this road well, I'm pretty sure it was a 70mph dual carriageway for most of its life, until the road safety bods worked their magic (admittedly the junction the police would have passed near the camera at circa 138mph has seen some pretty bad collisions over the years).
One also wonders how swift the Cooper S must have been shifting to have evaded capture.
