I have owned my 1800S for 9 years. It is a 1964 built car, built in the early part of that year, hence with cow-horn bumpers.
I have driven almost exactly 20,000 miles in the time of ownership.
I have taken it to to Scotland twice including the North Coast 500 trip. I have taken it touring in France. Also driven a 2,500 miles trip through Holland, Germany ,Denmark, Sweden, & Norway, and return.
In the UK the car is happy to cruise at 70 mph all day.
On the continent it can cruise at 80 mph as long as you want to keep it at that speed.
For regular touring /driving mixed routes it will average 26mpg.
On constant throttle at 70mph around 30mpg can be achieved.
I hope that can give you a guide.
