Whats the obession with low mileage cars? I'd rather have a daily hack average or high miler thats been taken care of (i.e. full history and no evidence of abuse) than a low miler that has just been a weekend toy thats probably been thrashed every time it left the garage.

Nah mate, 52,000miles, had syncro etc on 5th gear done at zen a couple of yr ago(regular prob on uk cars)along with lightened flywheel/exedy clutch at the same time-cambelt service done at RCMS car only goes to them 2 places for anything i cant do meself (picky about where/who i leave it with)/ oil changes every 4,000 mile, ive owned it from 26,000mile ran it on mobil1 15w50 motorsport at first then went to rcms where they use silkolene 15w50 pro r which i continued to use (change meself)till earlier this year, now use motul 300v 15w50.Fuel wise always ran on optimax/v-power or when i couldnt get that esso super.
This aint unusual though theres alot of well looked after classics-its just getting the owners(if theyve been reliable)to part with em.

The blue one has been for sale for a bit...... looks good and low mileage. I would never buy a black car because there so hard to keep clean and they show every mark! Thanks for the links mate
