General Highest mileage on original engine?

[TopDownB]

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering what the highest mileage might be for a B still on the original engine?
My 1995 model, in daily use, is up at 210,000km (131,000miles), and averaging about 12,000km per year over the last few years.
cheers,
Paul

I have a 95 which I drive daily. The mileage clock stopped but I estimate around 150,000 kms.

I also had a stopped/intermittent odometer a few months ago - the problem turned out to be a few dry solder joints and is now back clocking up the KMs

I think that probably is the problem with mine but haven't got round to taking it out yet. When the weather warms up, the B will get some more attention. The kids get all my attention at the moment but the B is still cherished.

Went out for a bimble in ours this afternoon and ticked over the 221,000kms. Sweet as a nut with the roof down of course.

Hit 55,5555 on mine the other day, missed catching a picture tho.
not the most millage for a 95 model.
