in the example you use here, it doesn't really does it? What you dont know is how many times the car has been rebuilt making that statement not quite true. Whereas a road going car at that mileage is likely to be all original.

I'm not saying the cars aren't strong, because they are. But dont expect cars like this one to be original. Key aspect of this purchase process of this car would be pre purchase inspection

Alternatively it may be a privately owned track day car. If owned by someone like Bins it won't exactly have had a hard life biggrin
