I've changed the subject better reflect the comments...
The registry has a field for owners to indicate a car's current mileage/kilometerage (my
word).
Sadly many people leave it blank, while others may be under-reporting it for some
reason... like "resetting" it after a restoration. I guess some might even over-report it
too.
The highest "mileage" is a 1971 Pantera, with 307,000 miles (reported several years ago),
and there are numerous cars in the 200K+ range, while the highest "Kilo-age" is 430,000
kms.
The registry has even proved a car was falsely advertised, with before and after
photographs that the mileage was "rolled back".
Interesting subject.

I very much doubt any Ferrari or Lambo ever made has come anywhere near that-- maybe half
at the most.
Kudos to the Pantera!

The late Don Peak once had what record exists. He also wore out a ZF with over 275,000
miles on his beloved Pantera. Don once told me he just didn't feel the day was complete
until he started the Pantera and drove it somewhere- every single day, rain, snow or shine
for 30-some years. And the car was always clean & shiny although he wasn't a mechanic
(Mike Cook took care of that). The man was DEDICATED!
