My speedo reads just over 16,000 - i.e., just over 116,000.   Of course, 
my engine is a replacement, but the numbers kept going up on the MOT 
certificates, so the rest of the car has done this, although the engine 
(probably) hasn't.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that there are 1500s out there which 
have been twice around the clock (although not without an engine 
rebuild/replacement...)
