Had a chat with the boss and she said no... Probably because I did her head in when buying one saying this was the car I'd keep for a long time after selling a r34 gtr.

So it's staying with me.. until my midlife crisis

Bear in mind the car had a new engine at 60k miles, that makes it less that 60k miles car. I think engine in these cars is the most expensive thing if it comes to replace/repair due to high mileage. Also the new box with ACE TC is something that should prevent big repair bills in the future.
Or maybe I am wrong, I dunno...

That absolutely does not make it a 60k mile car, the bodywork has passed through 6 figures of air/weather, the unmentioned turbos have had over 6 figures run through them unless replaced with the engine, a hell of a lot of supporting parts have passed through 6 figures of use. You cannot say it is a 60k mile car because that simply isn't the case. Try what Sid said but good luck with that, you never know. I will probably never sell this one and will just buy another to add to the stable when conditions/finances allow.
