Well reading that mine must be a spring chicken with a poultry (no pun intended) 
148000.
Mind you anyone who has worked on her has said the mileage cant be correct.
It puts its self forward as a car half its age and half its mileage. Apparently!!!
Ahh the joys of scorp ownership.

My diesel is a short walk below 214,000 miles and with a trip to the south of France, Switzerland and Austria it'll have a fair few more by the end summer!
My cossie is quite high on 170,000,. but it's still running sweet as a nut had near enough 10 former keepers though, must have felt quite unloved the poor thing.
Geoff - 250,000 miles??

Planning to do a guess the mileage for charity at Harewood (bottle of malt in case you are wondering) so no comment 
It sounds like you will have got your diesel nicely run in by the end of the summer

I'm quite sure the Scorp engines can achieve such lofty mileages without much trouble but the running gear is not as robust, wheel bearings , steering racks , autogearboxes, water pumps or radiators that have done 150 +K must be extremely rare.
Here's hoping I can double my 84K without dipping my hand in my wallet too many times ( fat chance )

Now this is really tempting fate, but for mr._floppy, still have my original rack, gearbox, water pump and radiators, had a rear wheel bearing fail at about 45k and currently have a 6 figure mileage

emmm, u britts and ure miles and foot and inches... 
1mile *1,666 = 1,666km?
6miles * 1,666 = 10kmt?
so, 350.000miles = 583.000km.? 
Mine - 189.000km = 113.000miles....

My old 95 2.0L Ghia manual had 192000 on the clock when I sold it & it was still running sweet as a nut. Got £575 for it at Chelmsford car auctions a couple of years ago.
