Record mileage

[thecremeegg]

In the Telegraph motoring bit today a man wrote in saying that they needed advice on buying a replacement as their old 205 had done 455,000 miles and was becoming a "bit unreliable on cold mornings"!!!!!!
Now this must surely be a record for a 205 let alone any other car. Anyone seen/driven any cars with similar mileage? the highest ive ever seen was 250,000

My mate has a merc which is a J reg and has 207K on it. The only thing wrong it needed rear brakes for M.O.T, but when changing them the master cylinder gave up. Here is a pic of it on the ramp. He has a F reg merc with 138K on it.

Here is the white one.
