 Re: Mileage Wasn't it in a field for a few years or something though? I reckon anything that's been standing for a long period is gonna be a lot less reliable than something that's been servicable all it's life. Might just be talking bull though, as I can think of lots of cases where that isn't the case at all.

Re: Mileage It's more likely to be because late 2CVs were made of the stuff that was too thin to make foil out of.

M ight just be talking bull though, as I can think of lots of cases where that isn't the case at all. Yup  mine had a tree growing through the boot floor, and its been good for 10 yrs and its doubled its mileage since. Its just a case of making the important stuff as good as new and preventative maintenance rather than the commonly held "dont fix it if it aint broke"

I blame the interweb Although, whilst I'm admitting to be olderr than a 20 something; is it really a good idea to admit to intending to have a limited mileage policy and multiple speedos on a public forum?
