The car is near three and half years old with 23k miles - 6k/year. It's a V12 6 litre lump with a far from impressive power output, so very under-stressed. Clutch aside, if it can't cope with at least four times that mileage, then I would be appalled. Again, clutch aside, it should not be possible to abuse a car like that on ordinary roads.

The ones that would worry me are the low mileage examples, maybe mainly used for pose value around absurd (motoring) cities like London which probably never get out of second gear, driven by people who understand very little of the dynamics and mechanics of the internal combustion engine - those are ones likely to have issues

I cannot understand those (and I do not believe the OP was in this category) that have a fit of the vapours if their P&J is threatened with more than 100 miles a week!

It is a car - it was designed and made for driving which by definition makes the mileage increase

You're right I'd be happy with the high miler at the right price. I've had a couple of Ferrari Press cars with 'high' miles and they were totally reliable because they were used daily

I spoke to Rodger at Murray Motor Co today and he thinks its worth £77,500, I think this is £5000 too much

Speaking from experience, I think you'll find Rodger thinks EVERY car they are trying to sell is worth 5k more than it actually is. laugh
