What is the highest mileage Ferrari ever?

The interior is in XLNT cond.

The last time Pozzi saw this car, in 1996, it had 70.771 km.

It now only have 76.000...

Maybe tru since the car was stored for at least 10 years quite w/o never moving.

 

In the early 1990s there was a Ferrari 400 GT for sale in the UK that had 202,000 miles, I'm not sure if it still out there racking up the miles...
It covered over 160,000 miles between 1981 and 1991 with its then owner, many of which were at track days.

Also, a well known UK based 250 GT swb has just gone through 100,000 miles.

The diesel engines were straightly derived from the ones used in the MB vans of that era. Were almost industrial engines.

Those cars ride like a truck, but have the same longevity too.

 

I think Tillman's (Dallas) 328 has way over 100K on it by now.

 

107K and change I think, since my stuff is scattered to the winds I don't really know the precise number.

Greg B.'s 330 GTC(?) has over 100K

 

Where's Bart?

 

Last time I heard, he was in fat 80k's

 

His 550 dropped a cylinder, so he's been walking.

 

Remind him this way; 11 Cylinders and/or walk.

 

By pure chance, a second blue Maranello shared a train car with me in the Channel tunnel from the UK to France (imagine the odds! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him come up in my rear view mirror). The friendly owner told me his previous car was a 550 in which he did 160,000km (100,000 miles) without a hitch.

there s many years in Levallois Perret a mecanics said: more than 300 K/km for one owner who drives all the days with is car.
Sir E, but i don t know which model...

 

I have been driven in Mercedes taxis E-Class ('85-'93 model) that had well over 500,000 Kms (in Germany and in the Czech Republic), and were all running strong thanks to their diesel engines. Most astonishing though must have been an '82 BMW 735i taxi that I took last year in Switzerland - it had 565,000 Km (I asked the driver - it was "all original") and the high quality interior showed hardly any signs of wear.

As for Ferraris I know a 456 in Switzerland with 120,000 Km (75,000 miles) and feels/drives like new. The leather on the driver's seat isn't even scuffed.

Last year in Italy I also read an article about a businessman who hates flying and clocks up 200,000 or more Kms on his Lamborghinis within 3-4 years before replacing them for the next one. So far he's had a Diablo and two Murcielagos all of which clocked up hundreds of thousands of miles without any mechanical problems. Apparently he's never been stranded... he claims (rightly?) that supercars are more reliable if driven regularly.

 

My 1967 330 GTC has around 160,000 miles.

It would have easily twice that but when I lived in upstate NY, I stored it during the 6 winter months.

My uncle daily drove his 97 TDF Blue 550 maranello for a number of years. He is located out near san diego. When I asked him how many miles he told me 76. I asked if he meant 7600, and his response was "no, 76,000." Traded that car about a year or so ago on a quattroporte. Said he never had a major issue for the 76K he drove from brand new.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I went on a drive with Kevin Enderby this Saturday.

His concourse winning 308 (99.5 points last event) has over 200,000 MILES

I had to pick up my tongue off the floor. He had the engine rebuilt once at around 70K miles due to a failed rod.

His 430 and 355 both have 100K+ Miles..proof positive that when well maintained - these cars can last as long as the best of em'

 

The most I have run across during my hunt has been 133,573 miles for a 1985 308 GTS in Atlanta and 98,000 miles for a 1987 328 GTS in Texas.

Dr. Tommy may want to weigh in on expected engine rebuild timing for 3x8s.

 

One of the Ferrari mechanic I know had a customer with a 308 that has 400,000 miles and it's still running today.
And I know of another one, 83 QV Euro with 350,000 plus and also still running today.

 

picking myself up from the floor!

400K, that's amazing!!!

 

Mine is up around 117,000 now. Runs fine.

 

That's nothing. Yours should go four times that easy if you just be religious with the maintenance.

 

I probably overmaintain. Back in my track days I would change the fluids before the event and as soon as I got back home. Some years I was changing it 7-8 times a year.

Belts every 3 nomatter what. Just a bunch of stuff like that all the time. The biggest help is just drive the thing. Don't let it sit under a cover in a garage all winter. Get it out, use it.

 

To me that is a 130,000 mile engine.

Still impressive.

 

No it won't. The 300,000 + cars have not done it on one engine.

 

Well, just because you have not seen one doesn't mean it didn't happen

 

If anyone was ever in a position to have seen one or know of one, it would be Brian.
