longest time owning a vehicle

just sold this after owning it for 8589 days exactly, bought brand new in 1989, can anyone beat such an ownership duration?

Its going to Aberdeenshire and has a top speed of 18mph, so some of you might get a good look at it on the roads round Aberdeen one day soon Laughing At work

Opposite?

Taking a different view DefenderBen probably has the shortest ownership of an FL2! 2010GS Auto ex Celeb, Santorini Black, 2011 facelift , spoiler, spats, mudflaps, LED footwell lamps, Witter detach,
Other cars:-
1958 & 1959 Austin J40 Pedal Cars under restoration (I make many J40 parts)
If you have an Austin J40 or Pathfinder Pedal Car looking for a new home pls PM me.

Are those wheel standard or are they 'Winter wheels and tyres'?

Do you have the alloy wheels that were an option on this year? Will the fit a FL2?
