Who can claim to have the lowest or highest milage on their Minor?

Does a previous one count? It was pronounced dead after 230,000 miles. Pretty much everything was wrong with it except for the chrome.

The car has done around 86,000 but the current engine about 40,000. All the MoT's back it up - but it has had a "heavy paper-round" you could say!

Traveller has done 98,000 miles, 30,000 of those on the new engine, and 46,000 since the full resto in 1997. I do between 5,000 to 8,000 a year in it.

My '61 moggie has 34,631 on the clock and we have no reason to dispute this. The car is immaculate and in original condition.

Nice idea peetee, I may have the lowest for the moment but it will soon be beaten. Are you going to send out scutineers to check?
