Re: TOTAL MILEAGE for the 300 series!
Sounds like a record low for a 360 to me Varios often crop up with amazingly low mileages, but not 360s ...

I bought the car new but preferred driving a works landrover at the time so the 360 only got used for important occasions. Now I just love it and use it for my daily local transport. Still on original tyres and brakes (just).

Re: TOTAL MILEAGE for the 300 series!
Watch out for those tyres, my '83 360 GLS I bought a year and a half ago still has it's original tyres (Goodyear Grand Prix X) and brake pads. Brakes are fine but the tyres are not. They look fine (no cracks) but the rubber is a bit hard and I noticed an odd profile across the tyre when I took the wheels are off the car (concave in the middle where the touch they road!). I've prepared another set of wheels with new tyres as I didn't trust the old ones in the wet and at speed. I've kept the old ones on the original rims just cos it must be so rare to still have them!
Can't wait to see the the photo's!

Re: TOTAL MILEAGE for the 300 series!
Thanks for warning re ageing tyres etc. Just inspected them closely and all are fine. They are Michelin MXL's. I shall take some pics of the car when cleaned over the holiday and post them in the 'The Family!(--need your Pictures)' thread found in this same general discussion category, rather than hijack this interesting thread any further. Thanks all for your interest.
