About 82k now, but the bottom end has been completely rebuilt so should go on for a while yet.

98ishk on the clock but thats a mix of km's and m's because when it was converted they didn't calculate the miles it had done and clock it. I've got the MOT's etc to back it up which is always a good thing. I would gestimate around 75k but the engine i have in has only done 50ish due to an engine change.

About 74k on a rev 3 tubby.

Take it i have loads of miles yet.

Also the guy with 162k on it....do you notice that the car is a little slower now with that sort of mileage, ie) Lost a bit of perfomance?

or is it as good as it ever was?

If a cars looked after properly then I wouldnt think pistons would be a problem.
Or most internals for that.
