Just wanted to bring in a quick update on my Deauville. Today I received the history file on my car from the Dutch importer which goes from new, June 1978 up too late 1985 with a recorded service of 135.000 km in that period. It turns out that after a couple of months and 3.000 km they swapped it for the Holley DP, Prior to this they changed one float on the original carb and lowered the float level. I guess they felt it still wasn't satisfactory.
One thing I did notice when going through the file, it had an appetite for inner and outer bearings, brakepads 20.000 km maximum and U-joints.
