356s - the tacho is your friend. Keep it in the green band when driving . Can't tell you the number of owners who drove more modern machinery every day we had to educate on this one. Some didn't learn the lesson until they broke the crankshaft or diff . They would let the little engine labour away at low revs all the time; thinking they were doing it a favour by not stressing it with higher revs. 356s love to be revved (within reason); they don't like low revs (and who wants to drive one at low revs anyway )
