Never missed a beat really in 4 and a half years. Except for me flattening the battery, it's started on the button every time. Had 87K on it when I got it, with a partial history, now has 115K on it and still going strong. Only really had the 'consumables' done - oil/filters, brake fluid, brake pipes, tyres, plugs, leads, fuel tank (

), couple of perished rubber hoses.
Replaced the dizzy because I broke it, inlet manifold gasket went back in 2005, and that's it really
