I recall driving on French hyways, in 64 with a new healey regularily at 
around 90mph, which on those high crowned roads was a handful.  I'd 
regularily try to get over 100, but keeping it on the road became 
problematic.  On night at 90+ I was passed by a Citroen DS19!!! a four 
cylinder passenger car!  He obviously had a better suspension for their 
roads than the healey.
