Mine has 334596, at least 3 engines and at least three gear box's..... 12 owners
Don't know anything else about the van apart from that as I bought it from a car auction. I did send a very nice letter to the previous owner to ask about it, but no reply.

Mine is siting around 10365 miles but mine really is like triggers broom. It had a new shell in 1992 but was born in 1987. The engine is a vr6 out of a circa 1992/3 Corrado. The gearbox has been rebuilt. The odometer is 8% out as well so am 8% over whatever it really is. God knows when the speedo was changed

Mine has 267570 Kms and is on its second engine. Howeverr I am running on 205/70 R15 wheels and tyres, will this make a difference it certainly affects the spedo

somehow I think most Syncros by now have different wheels and tyres fitted. My red one runs 16% slow and my white one .... well it doesnt run at all but the last time it moved it had the correct wheel/tyre combo

I'm really starting to doubt the indicated ~110k miles on ours, judging by the rest of it...
