I certainly believe the miles, just has had a hard hard life, maybe sitting in humidity, banged around, not maintained one bit, used as a storage shelf ETC.

Case in point, that dark green 914-6 John Forbes found with only 5100 miles on it: A hard one to believe the miles, but evidently well documented, yet we have it here parked next to a TRUE 5400 mile 71 six, and the difference is MORE than day and night. So is our 1974 light ivory "stripper" 1.8 that exactly matches this olympic blue car. DAY and NIGHT difference, as both of our cars were taken well care of and radiate low miles, where the blue one and the dark green six do not

I used to live in the small town where John found the car. Hainesport NJ. Lots of old barns to leave a car to rot. I’m not surprised it showed rough. It’s the humidity that kills the cars around here, not the sun or the miles.
