Thanks for accepting me onto the forum.

I've had this for 16 years and I've only put less than 1500 miles on in that time. Currently 120,600 miles

Hi and welcome!

Thank you for the photo. Should that be 15,000?
The older MBs do look good!

No...You read it right.

I have done 1,500 miles in the last 16 years. My job (self employed) was mainly 7 days a week. I took early retirement last year and moved to Spain. The car is still in the UK. Used a couple times to go to car shows. Last year did 8 miles to MOT station and back. Some years no mileage at all.

That might be a record for miles/yr. Have your calculated your gas mileage?

Thank you for sharing!
