Not to worry,  I have 197,000K on my '88 and it is still running fine.
The only major service was a clutch replacement and having the head gaskets
replaced about 100K ago.

Keep the normal maintenece up, change the oil frequently (and the radiator
fluid if you have a waterboxer) and it will last a long time.

Makes me wonder, though - who can claim the most mileage?
