I bought the car in 2004  and was assured by the seller and the local club mechanic, that the car had been extensively overhauled including the braking system. I have since found that the rear brake linings were very poorly fixed to the shoes, see attached photo and also the article and photo in FP September/October, I suspect the front ones will be the same!

However the car runs very well, but, it is worrying that something such as this was missed as the mechanic renewed the brake cylinders for me and he must have been aware of the way the linings were fixed.

 

The rest of the car seems to be done very well, but, how can I be sure?

Anyway we use the car frequently and it has not let us down yet. My wife and I enjoy taking the car out and it is a really relaxed change from driving a modern car. It continues to attract a lot of attention and it is good to be able to let French people have a close look and also sit in the car, which seems to go down well.

Regards,

Dave.
