How many owners has your car had?

Seventh owner of this 1988 Carrera! Only 88515 miles! That has to be pretty close to a record for owner/mileage ratio - Less than 13000 miles, 2 years 9 months average, per owner.

That's like asking a girlfriend how many others she's had before you.

About 212k on my 1970 T and I'm the fourth owner. I've only put about 250 miles on it since buying the car in January . Mainly because I've been correcting deferred maintenance/cosmetics.

My car is a 1985.
It rolled over to 40,000 miles last week.

There have been two previous owners in Washington, and two in Canada that I have found.
I know there to be two, and possibly three more Canadian owners, based on the paperwork I have for this car.

Wolfe - so that would make you seven, possibly eight?
