Our 1929 fabric saloon is the car I use every day. Here in The Scottish Borders it's ideal. I've noticed that the tires are nearly down to the limit. About 16,000 miles I think.
I did have a 1992 Citroen Xantia but at 195,000 miles, no synchromesh on 3rd gear and the clutch starting to slip, I decided it wasn't worth trying to weld the rust together and gave it up 3 years ago. I have not replaced it.
My son and I do also have a 1972 Citroen which we use for longer runs, such as meetings down in England. We've clocked up 17,000 miles in that since reassembling it from boxes in which it had been for 12 years. It is not used if there's any change of salt. 70s citroens are soluble in salt water.
