Ta
That came from my contact at Buchloe - it's the old school ledger thy had been using for all models over the years. Probably all computerised these days, unfortunately

That's brilliant, being a 1 owner car is something special but with that mileage as well. I've done 50,000 in mine in the 6 years I've owned it and still enjoy every miles so doing 385K is a bit special.

Mark, this is a thread resurrection from last year 😄

To update, as of March 24, the car is 21 years old and now has 405k miles on the clock!

Congratulations! That's a great story Charles.

I have had my integrale since 2007, so 17 years this year. Of course, I haven't had it from new, but there is something special about having a car in the family that long. I used to take my son to Oulton Park as soon as I could change his nappy on the back seat. He's now driving, and I Marshal there with him!

My B3 feels like a keeper too.
