11178 on my '88... I think about selling it every once in a while because I don't drive it much but it's just so cool I can't.

Thanks. That color is called "Blood Orange" aka "Tangerine"

250,000 km on mine (156,000 miles).

https://rennlist.com/forums/rennlist...-car-****.html

Valve job done at 200,000 km, gearbox rebuilt at 225,000 due to worn 3rd gear synchro, new turbo at the same time. I've put 50,000 km on since I purchased it in early 2001. Great power, no smoke, and negligible oil consumption (maybe a litre over 5000 km). It leaked a few drops of oil during the 5 month winter hibernation but this seems to have stopped once I started driving it again.

I don't think you can generally say which is better - it's all down to the individual merits of the car. I've seen lots of low/lower mileage cars that are not even close to mine condition wise.
