O ye of little faith
A good 2CV will touch and sometimes hold 80MPH
I once touched 100MPH on my way to Bristol DVLA offices in a Lomax 223 and just to prove a point I did the same on the way back, although I did lose a O/S front fender due to exciding the design speed !!
Speed confirmed on a sat-nav as the speedo was "off the scale"
I can also recall being stop by the law doing quote "over 80MPH" in what (if I remember correctly) was the same car.
The police officer words were something like "do you know how stupid I feel chasing some idiot in a 3 wheeler at over 80MPH!!".
Yes, I was wearing the obligatory leather flying helmet, goggles and white silk scarf, a meter of which was blowing in the slip-stream!!
After a fearful look only a traffic copper man can manage
he spoke again saying "if I see this on YOU-TUBE, I'll hunt you down and hang you".
.
He then returned to his patrol car and drove off, just left me sitting there!!
Nice chap, haven't seen him since.
