I have had mine for 3 years this month and the odometer reads 12,301 mi. Since the speedo was the first of my necessary repairs that adds up to 4100 mi per year.

In the nearly five years that I've owned my 109 I've averaged about 3000 miles a year on it. Which is just about the same as what I put on my daily driver :-)
In the good old days when my Rover was my only classic vehicle(and at one point my only vehicle) I was logging 12k miles on year on it. Now that the car collection has increased, and needs have changed, the Rover only gets about 1k a year tops. However, I have covered about 70k miles in it since I bought it 20 years ago(it still amazes me we have been together that long).

Haha. That sounds like a topic for another thread. How often do you get towed? How far have you been towed? How often do you break down? (Or for some people, how often do you brake down?)
I think my Series needs to get out more.
I do "brake" down (hill) because mine jumps out of gear. LOL. Something to fix next when I get the right tools.
But I must say that my Series have never let me down. Never going anywhere in it tends to ensure that. Lowering my expectations helps.
