i just wanted to know about the centuras as everyone of them i have ever come across was riddled with rust and i wanted to know why
good engines but a very light rear end and rusty bodies which is a pity as it had the makings of a very good car or something that could have been much better than what it was/is
anyway for your perusal
The height of industrial monolithism
From 1950 to 1960, steel production again rose appreciably, but the trend in steel production at international level showed the risks inherent in industrial monolithism. Moreover, the iron ore which had led to the creation of the Luxembourg steel industry was no longer a trump card in view of its low iron content and the gradual exhaustion of the deposits
Most iron ore mined in France contains high levels of impurities, and domestic production has declined in recent decades as the French steel industry has turned to purer ores imported from abroad. Bauxite, or aluminum ore, is mined in substantial quantities, mainly in the southeast.
My father had a Centura for many years, no sign of rust anywhere.
It was a 2 litre auto and was near 100% reliable.
