Totaly agree, would never buy a car with that kind of mileage. Im freaking out cause my MK2 180 just hit 70,000. Ive never had that kind off mileage on a car before. The day i collected it it only had 3500 miles on it, was the demo car at Castle bank Street MG before it got knocked down.
Sit tight, you always find what your looking for when your not looking for it.

haha, mileage is just a number. Mines on 130k and has never run better! Like the Mallard, not too tight and not too loose, just right. Then again, it does have an L series in it

Very fresh when you bought it then and probably still is if you have kept it all of its life. Funny you said that last comment actually lol (I will reveal later!)

Ive never been put off by mileage,as long as its got a good history and not to many owners,but each to there own.I bought my wife a saab 93 convertible with 165k on it about 7 years ago,fsh,and so on,i sold 3years later as she never used the roof etc..I see the bloke i sold it to every once in a while,and its over 225k now!No major work done to it at all.
