Default Re: So, why no mileage on your car?

Like others have said. For many of us roadsters and coupes are play toys so they get driven sparingly and are put away for the winter. For example, my TR3 (1960) has 41,000 actual miles, TR6 (1975) has 51,000 actual miles. The TR6 was a daily driver for a number of years so it has more miles and Xfires have less then 14,000 miles on them. Honestly you do not drive these older cars on long trips. Luggage space in those Triumphs especially with the side curtains, etc. is very limited. My winter project is restoring and installing the OEM luggage racks on both Triumphs. I believe you will see unmolested Xfires in 20 to 30 years with very low mileage on them. Many are only driven 2000 miles or less per year.
