I'm upto 130k on mine and did have photos of 111111 and 123456 on the odometer but sadly have lost the phone they were on :'(

I've owned the car for two and a half years and it had 50k when I bought it :)

   My motors coming up to 94,000 and at the rate I'm using it now, it will be early next year before I reach 100k (price of petrol doesn't help). I notice all your motors are V6's mine's a 2.2, just wondering if anyone with a 4 pot have any of the high mileages? :y :y

Nah they don't have enough power to get up to a decent cruising speed ;D

      :o :o :o T'ant fare :'( :'( :'( ;) ;) ;)

My Omega went 'round the clock' years ago, probably around 7 years  :-\ Now shows 176000:y

 :o

Only just run in compared with some cars on the forum.

There's a thread somewhere with the high milers posted. IIRC there are a few around the 250 000 mark!  :y :y

160,000 miles on mine now and not exactly driven by the vicars wife. It'll be fine, just keep the services nice and regular and make sure it's well warmed up before driven hard.

I remember mine clicking over the 100k mark on the M25 on the way to the OOF Hampshire cambelt meet back in 2010.  It's now approaching 105k, so you can tell how much use she gets!  ::)

Mine hit 100k while still in service - it's now up to 164k... still sweet as a nut. Or rather, it will be once I get my Eternal exhaust fitted :y

I don't recall the 100,000 but the lady is semi retired now with 113,000 miles on the clock and pleasingly seems showroom fresh thanks to ongoing restoration!
