To be honest 87mph from a 900cc 50bhp engine in 1957 is none too shabby.
But a car that looks like that in 1957 with a 0.9 litre engine is dreadful. I mean, this has less than half the power of the 300SL.

The 300SL was the fastest car in the world, you're comparing apples to oranges but okies, different strokes and all that :)

In 1957, there was a class for under 750cc engines in Le Mans 24H. 900cc was in no way bad for the standards of the time.
 
Never seen this car before in my life.... yet, I quite like it. It looks like the kind of car where I wouldn't care about performance, rather how it makes you feel at cruising speed I'd say cool :)
