The Moke has done at least 196,000 miles (maybe even 296 or 396?) but hardly any original bits remain besides the bodyshell.

The Beetle still has it's original block and has done a whopping 429,000km judging from the few fragments of history I can find. I'd say the engine has been rebuilt as it's quite spritely but the gearbox is tired.

The Corona has done 134,000km, the engine is not original as the old one did not like the Australian climate. ;)

The MR2 has 172,000 miles on it, but the engine is not original.

Traveller - no idea until I find which box the speedo is in. But the engine is original.

Cheers,
Brett.

Maybe not 'stricly' a classic (yet!) but I've done close to 130,000 on a 2002 Ford Ka with the Kent-derived 1.3 Endura-E engine. It's clattery but isn't using any oil. Shame the rust will kill it before the engine goes! :roll:

Hmmm...

PAs? Who knows... the 60 shows 51k miles but I have a feeling in 51 years it just might have flipped over.

07 Lexus 57k, 06 Jag 66k, 88 M5 198k :D

92 Saab 900 N/A has 127K and is beginning to feel used, the 92 900 Turbo has 107K and feels barely run in, the 85 SD1 has 83K and feels all of them, and maybe a few more besides.
