I found this article about a gent in Oudsthoorn. Not much info on the vehicle itself re parts replaced etc but still interesting to see.

Knew a chap with same KB, not sure of year, lived in Magaliesburg, worked in Wynberg. Last I'd heard about 5 years ago he also had done more than a million k's...

key is like the owner said... regular maintenance.
but in that 1.5mil km, how much of that engine, drivetrain is still original?

But the bigger question is ... he retired in 2003 and still working :shock2:
