The 100k Club

[Tanz]

On the way back from the car show at Litchfield last weekend my Excel passed the 100,000 mile mark. I have only done the last 6k (in 2 years) so its really down to the dedication of the previous owners. As far as I can tell from the history, the engine has never been out and the clutch is original
How many other people on here have passed 100k Who has got the highest mileage

[amarshall]

Passed the 100k on the way to Goodwood for the Beaujolais run in 2007.

Just coming up to 120k now - and the first engine rebuild is starting at the end of the month,

[Ozzy_UK]

only at 112,500 ish, and original clutch i believe...

[barker_001]

100600 miles here, I went through the century back in November last year. Still on the original engine, no rebuild (yet! ). The PO replaced the clutch at 95000 miles.

[dpr59]

176K miles.

26K down to me.
History shows a fare bit of work on the engine at 80K

[AndyC]

136k approx, but second engine, and that wasn't a re-con just a swap and it doesn't sound well currently.

[hodders]

NYAM (Not Yet A Member) at a paltry 92K miles. March next year then...

[texas2201]

152000 on the green one 20000 down to me - heads rebuilt before I bought it - going strong

almost 100000 on the blue one 7000 down to me

both original engines

[alanmoss]

Sorry but I feel totally inadequate at 53K.

[Lotus-e-Clan]

^^^same here...55k

[bash]

Without going and checking I think Im at about 114,000. But, I remember one member from a few years ago had well in excess of 200,000

[texas2201]

just checked the SA and it is now on 100800 or so

[crogw11597]

103000 new clutch recently when Lotus Bits replaced the exhaust manifold said it had a bit more ife in the clutch but was worth doing while the engine was out. Think a rebuild will be on the cards soon as the bearing is a little noise.

[hodders]

12-month bump to announce that I'm now the owner of a very low-mileage car

Mine has just passed the 100.000 milestone still on the original engine and clutch, I have put 6700 miles on her in the year I`ve owned her, she`s of to Dave Baskervilles rolling road in the autumn for a little TLC. Cheers Keith
