After 12 years of ownership.....and many (s)miles

My trusty Red LE No. 42 reaches a big milestone...




and her she is this afternoon after a wash

That is stunning. Fantastic condition considering the mileage (or is that the oil consumption meter)?

250k and still looking sweet

Congratulations Mike!
Still looking the part!

Even with that spectacular mileage she still looks great!

Nice one Mike. Still looking good.

Well done ...we know you smiled a lot I 12 years

Quality MC Do the few that I put on her count

Hard and fun yards Mike, good stuff!

Well done Mike (and Red LE). It still looks and drives like new too

Awesome Mike

Mighty impressive.
So can we now class 100k as just run in?

Fantastic and inspirational stuff!

Is that the highest mileage forum Coop then? Or does Nigel still hold that accolade?

If you accept the "Trigger's broom" theory, then yes, I probably have the highest mileage Coupe.

The problem is that "my Coupe" has had a new engine and a new shell.....

My original Sprinty was scrapped at 246,000, but the engine was transferred into my Moonie, which had 24,000 on it at the time. Its now up to about 80,000, so the engine has done about 300,000 (I had a transplant in the Sprinty and replaced the engine with one that had done about 25,000 less than the knackered lump that was removed)

IIRC, RoyH probably hold the record for the highest mileage on a single engine in a single Coupe - close to 300,000, I believe

For a moment I thought there was a forum member called Trigger who sold you a broom yellow Coupe and that you had transferred your engine again into that and for some reason he had some theory about true accumulative engine mileage irrespective of the shell.

Sounds like a "fools and horses" plot....
