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

mine is on 168,000 at the moment.
the car came with a little excercise book that has been filled in with all the times that servicing, and repairs have been done so it all adds up to the correct mileage.

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.

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?Peetee wrote:Aw nuts. I thought I thought I was on to something here.34,631

34 k?
I've done more than that in the years I've owned the Minor!
Who knows what its done before, its definately been round the clock though.

You mean 59215?
Mine recently went through the 90,000miles- on original engine and bever been overhauled, yet. I may treat it to that at 100,000miles.
