The MK1 mileage competition

[Burgmeister]

Ok so those of us with mk1 Roadsters are all aware that they are advancing in years and as such there must be many with pretty impressive mileage records.

I'll start the bidding with my 1993 daily driver which does at least 200 miles per week;



That's in km so according to Google thats 132080 miles which must be infantile compared to some...

[thecremeegg]

My old one was on 250k before I crashed it, current one a mere 210k

[Gilhooligan]

My '93 is one 109,000 miles. Its going great, apart from needing: new clutch, slave cylinder, bushes replaced, rear crank seal, valve stem seals, two new sills welded in, hardtop repainted and downpipe needs replaced.

[scrwright]

just sold a mk1 eunos with 280000 kms on, got my first mk1 up to 180k miles before tin worm killed it.

[Patch888]

1991, 109k uk car going immensely!

[Jimmy No Hands]

I'm picking up a mark 1 with 138k on, on Monday. Being extremely new to the MX5 world I don't know whether that is peanuts or not..

As long as it's been looked after it's peanuts.

[Rickyy]

Mine is on a measly 87k! Doubt it will do 5k in a year!

[New POD]

Ours did -ve miles last year. mistake by mot man. It's showing 105K miles on a 97 mk1. Might do about 3k if lucky in a year.

132k in a Mk1? That's not ven trying hard enough. I've heard of Mk3s with 150k on the clock.

[MxMurray]

My '97 MK1 has just turned 150,000 miles.

[Jerakeen]

My '91 has just had it's quarter of a million kilometer birthday.

[Richyvrlimited]

Mk1 with 130,000 miles
MK2.5 with 120,000 miles

[RT Phil]

Gleneagles with 41k, I need to get out more

[MX-5 Lazza]

My 2001 Mk2.5 only has around 85k miles but to be fair, around 70k of those miles have been supercharged with well over 200bhp.

[J-Tuner]

My Mk1 has just ticked over 100k. Saw it in with 8 psi of supercharged boost. She loves it

It depends how many club runs the mx5oc does ? I assume you are a 'concours' member.

[RacingBlue]
