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.

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..

ajamesc

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

The Crocodile Hunter

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.

Rod-Tarry

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 ?

Vacuman

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

cossynut2

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!

gjh

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