Have charted the mileage v age to check on the odometer reading of just over 35,000 miles when I purchased the MG. With the known facts of a full body restoration and new engine it had clearly done more than that recorded. 

The chart, compiled from MOT certs and  mileage recorded on invoices over a long period, clearly shows the car has travelled once around the clock plus 35,000 for a total of 135,000 miles.

In the first 20 years of its life covering 118,000 miles and the last 20 years just 17,000 miles. probably typical to high for many classic cars of this age.

Couple of queries for previous owners:

1.  When were the original seats changed to the current leather ones with green edge piping?
2.  When were the Rostyle wheels replaced by the current Minator alloys?
