  High Milers Still Auction Bargains 12 Jan 2001 (News)
  When you consider that most of these cars will have done their mileage at 80mph on the motorway and hardly had time to get cold, these high mileage engines could well be in better condition than a 20,000 miler in a six year old that spent most of its life doing short runs from cold.
