I think that makes it the longest run in history (rebuttals?). I saw a car from the original run in the George Pompidour in Paris, and I recall it had just 1 headlight. The design specifications of the original car called for being able to carry a dozen eggs from the farm to the market under the roads then available. The suspension is ``interesting''. The current version has 2 opposed cylinders, 602cubic centimeters total. and 29 DIN horsepower (21kW). Weights 585Kgs, and, according to specs can make 115Km/hour, using 5.4 l/100k/90kmh. It is currently being classified as a 3 cv for tax purposes. It costs 28280 ff. eduardo.
