Whose got the highest mileage car on here ?

Or have you owned a high miler.

Its a known fact the AJ16 is a good Jaguar Engine one of my favourites except the XK 3.8l - I digress

My AJ16 will roll over 110k (14yrs) this week

Im sure thats quite low to what members will post...

Over to you guys

 

I got a 96 VDP with 123k miles..but around 4 years ago it was at 58!!!! My dad racked it up going to work every day!

 

Sweet, so far, I'm highest at just over 135,000.

 

157,000mi on my 1995 XJ6 on the day it was sold and it ran great.

 

My 1997VDP has 205,300miles as of this evening. The Nautilus is still going full steam ahead.

My 1995XJ6 has 176,458miles.

Both of them are daily drivers. My son, (Captain Nemo) drives the Nautilus and I drive the green machine.

Today I replaced the front wheel bearings on the 95, did it last spring for the 97.

I plan to get 500k out of each. I drove the 97 for a year and a half before I fixed it up and gave it to my son.

 

Jack, no doubt you will get it if regularly maintained....

Ive got a front wheel bearing to do

 

Myself and 3 friends have or have had X300 XJR's, and all are well above 100K and going strong. Mine is at 123K, the others are: 135K, 199K and Mark traded his on a 2009 XF at 137K. The 199K car in in our shop right now for a tune, plugs and fuel filter, steering rack, rear shocks and four Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires.

None of them have ever had the superchargers touched except for checking to be sure of no SC oil leakage.

Awesome cars, they just never quit if they are maintained.

Cheers,

 

This is all very encouraging fellas!
Some very impresive stats.
I would be lucky to do 6,000 miles a year.

The Jag wreckers near me are struggling to find cars to wreck as they tell me they are too reliable!

 

95 4.0ltr sport 187500 at mo, all front bushes to replace when got parts to do job and cash

 

96 Vander Plas with 127,000 miles
and my new (to me) 96 Vander Plas 41 no it just turned 42,000 miles

 

You fellows are just getting your XJ6 broken in! Mine has 236,000 miles and is on original engine and transmission. The engine uses about a qt of oil every 3 to 4 thousand miles and there are some valve noises at startup. Major (?) work- sunroof track, rear end rebuild, driver's seat, heater matrix, headliner, tps, a couple of coils. Currently needs ac, idle stepper (I think!!) sunroof panel cover (didn't do it when I did headliner) . I have a spare engine and transmission that will never go in, I guess, since the body and interior is getting tired.
The drivetrain seems bulletproof n these cars.

 

Very impressive Ross

Our current winner

236k Miles

Make mine look like its only just run in.....

 

Hi Gus, I have the exact same car. I love it and it has 109,000 miles. It would be helpful if you would list all the things you did to the car over it's life. Or at least the major ones. That way we can all anticipate what to look out for.

186,000 miles.

 

Just picked mine up last month got it with 158000 now i have 162000 runs great and quick.
I think one of the V-mounts is dead as im getting a major clunk over any kind of bumps.

 

You are not going to believe it but all I replaced was a powering steering hose, battery, tires and brakes. I did have the trans serviced but no major repairs. Oh, forgot right wheel bearing and the security chirping that did not chirp and the heater pump needed cleaning. I did love that car, it ran great and responded each and every time I wanted it to. The only bad thing with that car was the paint.

 

162,000, 109,000, 127,000 ?????
You guys with the low mileage cars need to go out joy riding more! I realize gas is expensive, but other than sex, what can you do that's more fun than drivivng a Jaguar?

 

Ross,

You make me laugh, but most probably never a truer word said on here

 

hey jackj same here i have a 1995 xj6 with 183k slowly but surely re-habing old besty, just like to perverbally timex watch, takes a licking and keeps on ticking, i hope to get 400k out of mine, by then it will be a new car after i replace to worn out stuff..lol

Well, I am feelin' pretty good about my XJ6 right about now haha. I have 127k on mine. In the process of doing some work on mine though because it sat for awhile by the previous owner. Have a feeling I'll have mine for awhile especially since mine doesn't get driven in the winter.
