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

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,

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.

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

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.

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
