340DL -86 333.000km (my no.1, and dad's ex) :D
360GLi -90 237.000km
360GLi -90 221.0000km (dad's)
343DL -79 235.000km (dad's EX)
360GLT -86 285.000km (friend's)

Then some dead ones of mine:
343DL -79 230K
340DL -83 232K
340DL -83 240K
340GL -86 234K
360GL -87 286K
340GL -88 293K

Then some unofficcial records that i've seen:
340DL -89, 379K B14.4E ORIGINAL ENGINE!!! (a friend of mine's)
Mine made a decent 327K with original B14.4E engine, and VERY GOOD compression after that, 13bar in every cyl. :D
360GL -85 445K, B200K original engine :D
360GLi -89 425K B200F original engine also.

It's strange how long theese volvo (and also renault) engines can make in a such car, and arctic country as finland. Here the temp is in winter at -30ºc and in summer +30ºc. Add 10ºc to both if it's extreme. :)

What could be the highest mileage 300 series car?
340DL 1986 B14 4E (72hp, 110Nm)
360GL Injection 1990, B200F (108hp, 150Nm)
Trashed:
343DL -79, 2x340DL -83, 340DL -84, 360GL -87, 340GL -88

Added 1200 in 7 days to Fake, and if you include the trip to Foggy's and the national, I've done 2000 miles in 14 days. Havn't driven Fake that much really since I got her running, upto 177,000miles nearly. All the time I'm at uni I usually go off sightseeing as much as I can, but the last few months I've been hectic, and havn't been able too :(
