The highest mileage I ever owned was this Subaru Legacy with 269.000km when I sold it. 
 

 

 
Bought it with 223.000km two years before. It drove faultlessly. Of course some maintanence required, but 
it never let me down, always started first time and got me where I wanted to go. Best car I ever had, I guess! 
 
P.S.: That´s exactly the one that felt better built and better made than the far-more-expensive Cadillac SRX. 

Fiat 130 Maremma! 
 

 
Hmmm, such a beauty!
 
Ok, it would not have worked, but look at it!

If this fire brigade-car arouses you, you will love this too: 
 
A Steyr XX from the 1930s, used by a huge company selling Radios and Televisions in Graz/Styria. Rumor has it that it had a matching trailer too,
but the trailer is lost sadly. 
 
The car was found some years ago in a barn (not kidding), and it´s unrestored. It was THE sensation at the biggest austrian classic car show last year. 
 

 

How much did they cost when they were new?

Great car! I really would love that. But not for that price...

No, I´m saying I´d like to see a lot of old japanese cars like in many developing countries. Like Greece.  But an Espero is good enough. 

Hyundai Lantra, 1992 clean mot. Looks a bargain.

Looks extremely realistic! 

It this car were an austrian-domestic-market Datsun for sale in Austria with austrian papers, it would go for ~ 2000€. 
 
To me, I guess.

And that´s how it looked in the earlier days:
 

 
Some say the one who found it in the barn wanted to restore it and change the body and make a Roadster out of it. But thankfully, 
it will stay like that now with the new owner.

Espero? Is it you? 

It's only a yellow Cosmo Coupe.

On steelies.

Boom! Car #18 has landed at last!

Today was the day, my brother in law collected the Espero with a beaver-tail car transporter.
 
All he said on the phone is that the car looks and feels like it has 21.000km on the clock, but the inside
is dirty like 400.000km. But he reckons it´s just dirty, nothing that could not be washed away with a cleaning
cloth and some elbow-grease. 
 
He says the engine runs fine, he has driven it a few minutes around a private track and did not tell anything
unexpected. 
 
He steering-column can be repaired he said, but he will have to get it out, weld it and get it in there again.
That wont happen too soon, but now the car is stored dry and secure in the garage.

I just discovered that my Espero is the DOHC 16V-model.   So I thought this might be the sportier engine with more power etc. etc. 
 
After a bit of a search on the interweb, I found out that the DOHC 16V-engine is the smallest and less powerful engine, 1.5 with 75hp. 
 
The other engines are SOHC 8V-engines, but 1.8 or 2.0 litre.
 
That adds to the shite-apeal, I guess. 

Oh, I forgot to mention: I am prepared for the day the repaired Espero comes into my life! 
 

That´s the only picture he sent me to prove it´s secure now. And in good company with a 230E W124. 
 

 
And: No, these are not the usual panel-gaps on an early Daewoo, the bonnet is open! Honour bright!
