Re: How Many Miles?
IIRC, it wasn't the engines that gave out on them, it was the bodywork. But
then, it rains a lot here.

Re: How Many Miles?
Ouch !
Actually, it ran very smoothly, but it was a regular Saturday morning job to
put oil in the twin SU's dash pots :-)
Just hit a major milestone today - finally towed away Dad's 1952 Mercedes
300L from my house back to his. Must have been a tow weight of not far off 3
ton including the trailer, but the Wagoneer hauled it along well. Been
trying to get rid of that Mercedes for several years. Truth be told, the
anticipation of today was the 75% of the reason I bought the Wagoneer.
