Keep your eye on Pistonheads and Autotrader. Occasionally a good low mileage one in almost standard trim will come along.

I got one - 48K FSH standard and there have been a few others recently.

Be prepared to wait. They are out there.

I have a '99 UK 5dr from new that I'm not sure what to do with, was condering putting it on track, but it's an expensive hobby :-)

A little over 40k miles, 17" superleggeras, new Toyos, new K-Sport brakes (original 4 pots seized), braided lines, new front and rear drop links (originals died), power engineering twin exhaust. No LEDs, stickers, dice, blond hairs...

Got the work done, then stupidly saw a T25 for sale...

O.P. maybe a hint of what YOU class as low mileage would help. You did this a while ago with your search for another Scoob. People offered help & assistance but nearly everything was too nigher a mileage.

Just think it may save getting peoples back up

P.S. I'd be looking for minimal owners and under average mileage (eh Pete ).

Good luck.

Actually, I remember your seach LOL https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...e-classic.html

It is folly to chase a mileage ........ or even a one owner ......... although both very desireable, the condition and history are the most important.

Mileage definatly isn't everything and I know I wouldn't pay well over the odds just for low miles. IMHO it has to be condition that is the deciding factor for how much you pay. If someone is very fussy about thier car, it could have quite a few miles on it but be a minter.
