Years later, some guys sponsoring her decided they wanted to be super nice and bought her a new legacy. Which... now has a lot of miles on it.
My 914 is on rebuild #1 at a little over 100k miles and the 911 is almost at 200k and running strong as can be.
they probably get free maintenance on it it now though.

Dude that would rule.
Hahaha, awesome! I remember reading about this guy several years ago when he was in the Guiness BoWR for hitting 1.69 million. Great to hear it's still going strong.
You've clearly never seen a P1800.
Seriously though; the P1800 is, imo, one of the best looking cars in history. My dad actually has a (iirc) 1968 P1800S that has been sitting around waiting for him to get around to fixing it up...and if I get a functional garage built before my brother-in-law, I'll probably be getting it. It's not my favorite car of all time, but it is my favorite that I actually have a good chance of owning. Rest assured, if/when I get it, I will definitely be posting a detailed log of its modernization.
