maintenance for long trip abroad 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Rik Brit on  Fri Jan 3 11:13 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hello good people,

In the summer I will be taking my '67 122S from UK to the south of France and back, not an epic journey in the 'to India in an Amazon' line but much more use than it normally gets.

I would like to get a representative sample of the major mechanical areas that you would get checked before undertaking a long journey, so that I can be sure that I have done everything possible to ensure a trouble-free trip. Also if anyone can recommend a good make of dashboard mini-fan that sticks on that would be great, and lastly, was there ever a OE center tray for between the seats, for keeping toll-money (damn euros), before I just shove any old plastic box down there?

I find this board a constant source of inspiration for restoration and history of my car. It really is a text-book lesson in how to do this kind of thing well. Thanks,

Rik
