I seem to recall that an occasional poster on here has got one with 130k+ miles. No idea on the username though.

Ummm, that's between myself and the buyer. Sorry, but unless he comes on here wanting to share, no-one else will know. It'd be poor form for me to disclose that, don't you think? I told him what I wanted, he agreed it was fair.

58 plate Coupe here, just gone over the 12k last week.

This is not a topic for me then.

The answer to OP's question must be AML.
Some of their development cars were driven 24 hours a day, for weeks.
I recall seeing a film of the testing.

It will be interesting to see what high mileages, customer cars have reached, because the majority are probably low mileage cars.

There was a reference (with a pic) in one of the AMOC publications to someone with 150K on his V8V.

Well at 8500 miles, let me tell you my position - I'm out smile

Some of these mileages certainly bode well for the longevity and reliability of the running gear. Good to read.

Especially in the US..most are very low miles. I just bought my Roadster. I am thinking of selling my Porsche 996 911 and making the vantage my daily driver!

i sold my 06 vantage last year with 108,000 miles, one owner from new. factory clutch was only starting to slip too. body work was atrocious. bubbling everywhere and even though it had a full history with am they wouldnt offer anything towards the cost. have since bought another 06 with only 29,500 miles !

I saw an '06 run by a classic/exotic car membership club that had 82K miles IIRC -- looked pretty good and I was told it had given very good service.
