For the 18 months I had my Mk2b it was practically flawless, was on 80k and had clearly been in an accident and poorly repaired and maintained before I got it, yet still soldiered on for another 30k under my ownership before I got the Alfa. I kept hold of it for a while as a few friends kept expressing interest, but then pulling out. After sitting out on my drive for about 9 months it plain refused to start, despite a lot of effort, so had to scrap it or I'd end up spending more than it'd be worth. I have no doubt though, if I'd have sold it sooner it would've run on for much longer.
