I fear I might be mocked for hairdressering, but the Ruby has an export air filter, and the 2CV also an air filter. Perhaps more important in the latter case to stop big lumps falling down into the downdraught Solex when trialling or checking ford levels whilst recceing. When filters are being cleaned there is always evidence of what is being kept out of the engine, or perhaps more significantly, kept out of the carbs. We could discuss road surfaces and their improvement over the years, but it is a bit late to start descending into detail about Westrumite, Dustabo, or the distinctly unhelpful Pulvertanto as used at Dieppe in 1908. Tomorrow, perhaps.
