The mileage could well be right, but starting a car up every few days is not necessarily a good thing to do, most of the ware occurs in the first few seconds /minutes that the car ( any) car runs, because of the oil running off the bores, and the pistons operating nearly dry until the oil gets flowing.

The car should then be run for about 30 minutes, to get the oil warm enough to drive off the condensation that subsequently forms in it and the engine.


BTW who put a spell check on here? Most helpful.

now ended early!.

sounded like a scam anyway, who would own for years at 100 miles, then buy and put on 700 miles.

and start every 3 days for 25 years???

feedback of 3.

This car sold on Ebay for over £17 last week, and now on Pistonheads with the same pics and description but as £7k

Pistonhead has been hit with a few scams of late, just recently an V8 Esprit was up on ebay for over £14k and it appeared on Pistonheads for £4k,but the ad was soon pulled.
