Not a Mk3 (or original engine), but we have had a 1986 petrol 190 luton since 1986 (so can virtually - down to a broken speedo cable in 1989) vouch for the 300,000 milage

This one, on the left. I can't pretend the chassis is untouched, have lost count of how many engines she's had and she will need a respray next year, but she's still at work! So is her sister.........

This is a great topic by the way, though would be better in transit talk!

wasnt sure were to stick it, any reason why it cant be moved? 20 years with the same vehicle, thats doing your bit for the enviroment. max use of the energy and materials that went into making your fine tranny!
