Morning all,

Low-mileage 105Es like this one must be hard, if not impossible, to find now.

The question is, would you use it if it were yours? Or, should it be preserved somewhere to keep the mileage down, and preserve it for all time?

Personally I'd use it very sparingly, and keep another one for regular use Smile

Wonder how much it will fetch? You probably wouldn't find another like it. I'd still use it, not much, but after all cars should be driven.

I would use it only for car shows......only if it was a dry day. Very rare car indeed. Cool

It's special only because it has low mileage, otherwise it's just another Ford Anglia, so I'd use it but only after replacing everything that will have deteriorated through lack of use over the years.

But in so doing, the "value" that being a low mileage example appears to have given it, would be decimated if the mileage was piled on - not perhaps the end of the world, but it's a consideration. Saying that, unless it was in daily use, I suppose it'd always be quite low mileage, even if taken to shows.

Use it but only drive in reverse to keep the mileage down. Laughing
Cheers
