Just been looking through my car documents folder an found the reg doc' scores the saph. I bought it 22/3/2001!! Can't believe I've had the fucker 14 yrs now. Sayin that it's probably only been on the road for half that

 

Time flys
I've had my 3dr for 18 years or more
And the last 8 it ain't even seen a road

 

Will you saff be on the road this year Neil.

 

Goes quick!? Got asked the other day how long I'd had mine, 15years now....

 

19 years in July for mine. Been off road since 2011.

 

10 years I've had mine

 

Just made me look up mine.
Bought it 3/08/2001
Have I really had it that long lol

 

Had mine about 13 years now

 

God I remember you buying it

 

I am the second owner of my 2wd Saff , it was one of the last ones built before the 4wd ones started.Bought it in 1995 and have enjoyed it for the last 20 years. Original paintwork till last year when I had both bumpers re-painted, still very shiny, rust free and Never failed an MOT until 2013 and that was the number plates have a honeycomb background which is not allowed any more.
Of course like most owners I have modified it, standard specc isnt for me but that is my personal preference. Bought it with 43000 miles on it , its now 104,00.

 

At least I'm not the only one..lol

Yea I bloody well hope so glen. Been missing driving it!

Not half stu. I can still remember the day I picked it up. Me an me best mate got it on a Friday night at 5pm. Can't or don't want to remember how much fuel I went through that wknd!!

She back on the road soon Rod?

How long has it been on the rd? Probably longer than mine..

The doc's don't lie Jane..lol


How long on the road? Seems we like to squirrel them away..lol

Nice one! I think I'm the 8th owner of mine. I bought it with 400 miles over the 100K. It's nearly at 170K now..

 

Mines been off the road about 4-5 years of that time I guess! Was off the road for the gearbox then when I took the 350bhp engine out and put a second hand 500bhp engine in I got off mark. Coming up too two years now since braking a piston but should still be on the road for running in this year

 

Had mine 10 years this year.

Time really does pass quickly

 

Hi Neil , you are certainly proving that when looked after Cosworths can go the distance, 170,000 miles is impressive stuff.

 

Its down to how long soon is . Its happening but very slowly the latest target is October 2015 lets hope that achieved.


Cheers Rod

 

Make you feel old lol ?

 

Apart from the 'fun factor' - good investments over those years???

 

Never looked at mine as an investment, I would never get back what has been spent on it but it doesnt worry me at all. Never grown tired of it in 20 years and it still puts a big smile on my face when wasting cars that cost 3 or 4 times as much!

 

Some real long termers here then, who's got the highest mileage example then?

 

I've owned my saph 7yrs, it'll be 8yrs come sept this year! I still love the shonky thing
