My 1970 1.4 would top out at 104mph. There was still room to go till the redline of 6800 but at around 6500 the engine would start to stumble as if it wasn’t getting enough fuel. I checked the fuel filter, pump, lines, carb, etc but was never able to find the problem and even in rural country you couldn’t get away with making too many top speed test runs back in the day when the Police were hot on enforcing the new 55mph speed limit.
If you're American then you had the de-tuned version, making it to 100mph would be quite something. This Volumex (supercharger) version was only available in Europe and it would have no problem hitting those speeds.
I don’t understand how you can rev yours so high. I have to shift at around 3000 thousand and after 3000 it doesn’t really climb. The highest I’ve been able to get it is around 4200
I have had my 1981 Canadian model when it was new doing 220 km top down and tarped in in Saskatchewan.
Very nice! I've done 210km/h (clock) a few times in my Argenta 120ie (mildly tuned/lowered). Great cars
You are very brave man:) My 82 would explode at 100 MPH. Looks like you hit 117 mph / 190 kph.
