Admittedly it is 300,000kms not miles, but on the way to work this
morning I clocked up this significant milestone...as it were.
 
Original engine (except for the heads), gearbox and clutch. Even the
exhaust is the original, although I am planning to replace that soon cuz
it rattles since a baffle sounds like it has come loose. Minimal oil
consumption and still maintains the 10L/100kms it has always achieved.
 
Still, a good effort and I thought (for the benefit in particular of any
new listees) the archives should have some more positive accounts of T3
ownership and reliability with only regular routine maintenance...:-)  
BTW, on May 5th 07 we celebrate 15 years together since  purchasing the
van. Seems like only yesterday she was brand spankin' new with something
like 7. 5 kms on the clock... Ahhh the memories... 
( queue cheesy Barbara Streisand soundtrack  "The Way We Were"...)
