Car enthusiasts who are used to changing vehicles, choosing models on the secondary market with minimal mileage, will only shrug their shoulders.
We'll talk about a car that covered its first million miles in 1987.
The Volvo P1800 entered the Guinness Book of Records as the vehicle with the highest mileage.
A bit of history
The model rolled off the assembly line in 1966 and was purchased by Irwin Gordon of East Patchogue, New York.
The car traveled its first 26,000 miles across Canada, Mexico and Europe.
In 1987, the first million miles were covered behind him.
First record
In 1998, representatives of the Guinness Book of Records became interested in the achievement, registering the mileage as 1,690,000 miles.
All this time the car was in the hands of one owner.
In 2002, the odometer already showed 2 million miles and, despite the impressive mileage, the car did not consume more gasoline than was stipulated by the performance characteristics.
In September 2013, the car set another world record by reaching Alaska.
At this point, we were talking about a mileage of more than 3,000,000 miles.
