High mileage cars
 

Yep, lovely cars the 75's that if maintained properly will survive the EV boom cars with flying colours.

Call me cynical but I’m sure some of them will be cars with problems and odometers reading 999999

"Bunny" from Ipswich commented in the comments section:

"Rover 75, you've got to be kidding I've worked on scores of these. With the amount of rain water that leaked into them from numerous points they would be more use as a hip bath. Rear window seals, rear light cluster seals, fixing holes for bodyside trims, bulkhead seals all leaked badly.":D

Good to read, thanks. An example of the build quality of the cars and proves what many of us on here already know. ;)

And another strong showing for the remnants of British motoring, with the LDV Maxus van in first place.



Rp61973, Yes I read that comment and had a chuckle too....

I should think not . . . . could have been done for indecent exposure!

Well 'Bunny' isn't totally wrong though mine has never suffered with anything more than a pair of worn rear light seals.
When they were built well they're great.

I clocked 165,000 on Sunday. Small beer. :D

While it's all very interesting I'm a bit baffled about how a car can rack up 750K miles. :shrug:

Let's say the Rover's are 20 years old. That means 37.5K a year, every year or roughly 100 miles a day each & every day of its life.

Can't see how that's realistically possible in a car. Taxi maybe?

I knew a truck driver a few years ago who ran trucks with stellar mileages but they had a team of 3 or 4 drivers who basically ran the truck 24 hours/day 6 or 7 days/week.

Maybe folks in the Moon Club can offer some insight?

It is and remains media, which you should take with a lot of grains of salt (a kilo or so?).
