Never been parked in Liverpool?

Has it got the original engine ?

[sandyRoe]

Maybe it was once parked in LIverpool and the original engine was nicked. Replacement engines would probably prolong its useful life.

I think I remember somebody had a Triumph Herald. It was said to be a poor car. But only 20 miles in 52 years is terrible.

It's like Trigger's brush. It's had four new bodyshells and ten new engines but it's the same car.

That car was white in the sixties...and Roger Moore drove it.

Hmmm...He's done a million miles in the last 11 years. That's over 90,000 miles a year. He'd have to be more or less constantly driving all waking hours to do that. He won't be getting much more than 30 m.p.g., how on earth does he afford the fuel? (He won't have any time to go to work).

[Graham-W]

To continue SeaJayPea's calculation.
That's 250 miles, every day of the year, or 6hrs a day at an average of 40mph. Stretches the imagination a bit.
