I don't think the one we had was capable of exceeding 65 and they don't usually pay attention until you get up to 68.

If you really want to cause apoplexy overtake while going on holiday!!!! Great fun on steep motorway hills with heavy overladen diseasel people carriers full of junk, they get so upset when a car and caravan glides past them! Or once when I took the caravan for a service (so empty) I outdragged a people carrier off a roundabout, and he was most upset<vbg>

I'd hung back from them and used some sweeping downhill curves to build up a good speed, then ducked out from behind them as I came out the last bend and could see it was clear Three of the five 2CVs I've had have all been capable of hitting the stop on the speedo on the flat as long as their's no headwind. I once drove from BB4 9xx to Sl73NB in 2 hrs 50 mins in a 2CV... 65? Mine would indicate that in 3rd..... Mike P
