How many miles do you do in your classics in a year?

My Austin has just had its MOT which made me notice that I have only done 800 miles between MOT's.

My borderline classic is averaging nearly 10K pa for the 4 years I've owned it.

Best car I've owned.

A lot depends on work but the Spitfire does over 3,000miles a year and the 2.5 saloon between a few hundred and over 10,000.

Had my 59 Willy's "Hotchkiss" Jeep 10 months now and have done around 2000ms, my 66 Mustang purchased in April this year, only 460ms.

Not hard to tell which one is more fun smile

I do just under 1500 miles a year. I always thought my 1500 miles annual insurance thing was plenty, but it seems that I'm closer to it than I thought.

Sadly diminishing with age now. I used to do a minimum of 5,000 in the E-type every year, but that has dropped to 1,500 and it's similar with the XKSS which strangely has done more than the E-type this year, 2,000 wich included a trip to Prescott.

2000 in my Hillman but that is more that I did in my normal car before I sold it. Also spend time on my motorbike but not a classic.
