mine drips a bit, needs the oil checked at least every month or so, is noisy and a little bit temperamental, the brakes are decent as I have twin leading shoes on 11" drums
as for speed I got it up to 65mph without an overdrive, but that was on a LONG straight bit with a slight downward incline, 60 is easy enough to reach if you have a nice long straight.
I normally cruise at between 50 and 55 though
I must say, the 2.25 petrol has never let me down, it has always started first time
the handbrake gave me some problems though, someone put both nuts on top of the lever, causing it to not disengage, which in turn made the gearbox feel like it was destroyed.
