I probably drive my Triumphs more than most, but I still rarely get over
10k/year.  Big reason for me is that it's not a "family car" ... can't
comfortably carry 3 people.  Also I find that, as I get older, I'm not
willing to endure a TR3A as much as when I was younger.  Now a 1000 mile
trip gives me pause, and 3000 miles is just out of the question.  I'm hoping
the Stag will change that ...
