Ford Cortina mk3, 412,000 miles! Doubt it's a typo as it also states it in the advert text. Only an average of 10,300 a year though, so guessing it's been a daily driver since new?  Either way it's in surprisingly good nick!  http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3986665.htm

I do find myself drawn to it! Would love to take it to a million miles, just to say I did I wonder how many turbos / clutches it has been through? Damn, if that was closer I can really see myself going to have a look at it. I have a problem!

BorkFactor said: I got rid of my 190,000mile S70 just over a year ago. I miss that thing, was a great car. Just a shame it was gonna hit me with bills about 2x what it was worth. Which reminds me, the chap doesn't mention in the advert how recently the injector pump belt and tensioner was done. 50mpg from such a big car was fantastic.

Have to say, I have never been in one  If it has made it that far, I doubt he has skimped on maintenance too much Found this, who is feeling brave? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-MERCEDES-S320L-AUTO...

Why the gapped number plate..??  m44kts said: This probably doesn't count, but My then 6 year old A6 in 2007 with 140k on the clocks when I had it for sale, the only sign of the mileage was a worn through drivers mat.   It could have easily passed for a 30k car.

General Price said: That is very impressive, good find! These seats look in very good nick too considering mileage - I have seen cars with half the mileage that have looked worse inside. The passanger side looks like it has hardly ever been sat in! It mentions a warranty in the ad, I wonder how much that would cost on a 200k mile car?

I reckon that car has gone through £25,000 worth of fuel in 4 years.
