That's not bad going sir! Is it keeping the oil inside it now tho? It looked a tad messy under there earlier in the year, one way to prevent rust issues around the engine bay I spose! That's still good going, especially on a car that was intended as spare to begin with until it was recommissioned!

And gets as much abuse as I can throw at it :D I'm still working with a total loss oil system, but she's coming off the road for a bit soon, has lots of shiny bits waiting here.

My 340 DL has 31786 on the clock, and as soon as I can get it MOT'd (hopefully this week) this should go up around 1000 miles a month. :)

Just realised that neither me, nor the former of mine has logged the mileage on this thread. :oops:

So count me in for 80,0000.

in a couple of miles time anyway.

Hasnt gone far since 1985.

Have to improve on that after xmas.

Barely run in, for a redblock :-) I've seen 360s with over 400,000 kms on the clock for sale ... Might be an idea to check when the cambelt was last changed though.
