62k to 92k in 27 months. Still love it every time I drive it. Have to admit I've a V8 itch but nothing available that ticks all my boxes so I'll stick to loving the zed for now.

My z has wracked up more than that since I bought it two years ago! Go on, pop out for a blast now, you know you want to!

Not just me then. Can't believe how much I still enjoy every drive. Two years of daily driving and a smile every time. Can't be many sub £5k cars that'll do that!
And I can't decide if I love or hate cleaning it. Probably both. Biggest waste of time ever but so nice when it's done.

At least for the first fifty yards of the country roads I live on!

Had to move mine into the next bracket - it clicked over 80K this morning.

Although it had done over 76K when I got it 18 months ago - bloody lockdowns!

Reached 65000 at the weekend. All but about 100 done by me of course!

Sadly, it's only done 3000 or so since lockdown started, but I'm looking forward to getting out a bit more as things get back to normal

163k here

who got the sub 5k one?

Conrod · Post by **Conrod** » Wed Jun 09, 2021 11:24 am

Mine is the 5-10k one - it had 4200 miles on it when I bought it last June, and now stands at 6200. It's quite possible that one or two of the sub 5k ones may also relate to my car, if either or both of the previous owners had forum accounts and entered it under their usernames. It would be interesting to know how many ultra-low mileage UK launch year examples exist.

Both previous owners were collectors, so it lived an extremely cosseted life for its first 17 years. I took the view that I had effectively bought a brand new E85, and would now drive it as it was intended to be. Had my plans not been scuppered by Covid, on Sunday I would have been setting off on a 2500 mile round trip to Austria to throw it round some hairpin bends in the Alps. Instead I'm taking advantage of the current sunny weather by making another impromptu three day tour of Wales this coming weekend - now watch the weather change!

E86 135k miles used to be a daily drive but only gets a blast to the shops and back these days while I wfh. Running better than when it had 50k on the clock.
