Or stored just because they don't have time to use it but simply enjoy owning it maybe.
wozy said:140k miler here. Intentionally bought with over 100k miles on the clock as I'd had enough of 'odometer creep' and worry of adding miles to previous low mileage examples was spoiling it for me. I've covered 30k miles in 5.5 years in her.
She's took me to Stuttgart and back a week after buying her (getting me back to Evesham in a day via a quick stop at the Ring, and touched an indicated 160 plus on the autobahn) ....... that's 750 miles. Took me and the ex wife in temperatures ranging from 8 - 38 degrees on a jaunt from northern to sourthern Spain and back and didn't miss a beat. She's been raced through the Pyrenees numerous times seeing off a bunch of biker mates, driven all over France in summer heat and hopefully will be heading for Sicily later this year or spring of next, with the new woman in tow.
She's stone chipped, paints scratched in places (I have cats) and has sat outside uncovered for the past 12 months because of having a garage built. BUT. Though high mileage I have spent what she needs (quite a small fortune) to keep her a great drivers car. The exterior cosmetics might not be great but underneath she's still absolutely tiptop. Saying that she's still on her original clutch which hasn't been replaced yet as it still works fine.
I am not interested in her saleability, investment potential or just the thought of owning one, plus I make time to drive her. It's a car to be driven and enjoyed and I love her. Ive wanted one from the first time I saw one in Chipping Campden High Street 20 plus years ago. I'll only ever sell her, if the ***** really hits the fan, and I desperately need the money, but even then it would still be a struggle to let her go as she's irreplaceable. :thumb:
