Trying to fight the boredom at work, found these...
http://users.autoexposure.co.uk/search.cfm...;Trans=Any First off I thought that £6995 was quite steep for an 8 year old Rover 25, but then I realised that it had only done 10 miles. And the one below it has only done 60. There's a few for sale that only have delivery mileage on them! Where will they have been until now? |

Not sure I'd want to drop £30k on a Rover 75, delivery mileage V8 or not! Think I'd sooner save up another £7k and pick up this one... http://www.xtreme-uk.net/performance-cars/detail.asp?ID=375 |

I don't think I'd want to buy one, especially at that sort of price, with no warranty if it had been standing for so long. I'd hope that the oil and brake fluid and such would have still been changed regularly, although I'm guessing it probably won't have been. Could be wrong however!
It'd be quite cool if there were some delivery mileage Td5's knocking about though... I think my opinions may change slightly... 
Think I've found the winner for the oldest car with delivery mileage though... http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/news/for-s...the-clock/ My grandad got one of those brand new - F51 GNA - then traded it in for a new Escort in 1994ish. A chap just up the road bought the Rover and ran it for a few years, although like pretty much every Rover from that era it's now in the big scrapyard in the sky!
Wow! Didn't think any of those were actually built! |

The reason they all only have about 5 miles on them is thats how many miles the car did befour the speedo broke or something else did

They got a few of them out the door (at £80k a pop  ) before the company went bust. Think the exterior looks great, but the interior of that one for sale I think looks awful. Oh, and IIRC, it shares a bunch of parts with the Fiat Punto... |
