As the reg W144VOO comes up as a coupe on MOT search I know it's still on the road, it was registered on the same day as mine, and its blue like mine (W133VOO), but has slightly fewer miles. This could be identical to mine and I'd love to know if the owner is on the forum. The seats are in a very rare fabric, so rare that I've had to swap to a leather interior even though I prefer the fabric. If the sister car to mine has the same seats perhaps my seats would be of interest to make up one good set. Anyway - I'd love to hear from you if you're out there.
Also - does anyone have any advice on how to do photos now that Potobucket have stoped 3rd party sharing?

I,ve got her. She's in great condition with no rust. Always garaged ,I try to avoid the rain and definitely gritted roads as my last one died of the rot. I bought her three years ago and was offered free black leather seats which I accepted without realising the rarity of the cloth ones, arn't they more of a bucket seat with turbo written on them? It's FC Performance stage 1 mapped which is a must. They are too polite without! It also has a non noisey Blueflame stainless exhaust a strutbrace and a K and N cone filter and a decent dumpvalve. I think we have the rarest model the vt6 and for two to be registered on the same day could well be a one off now.Cool!! I think its on 89,000.

Hello John
It's nice to make contact. It's a shame the fabric seats went (thrown away?), but they just don't last as well as leather. Even though the back seats were almost unused they were badly faded at the top. I'll stick them in the loft, perhaps someone will want them one day. My car is just over the 100k mark. I've just had a full respray and will be bringing it up to top condition. I've never had any upgrades at all and always thought the performance pretty fruity as it is, even given I've got a Ferrari 355 to compare it with! I can't have the Coupe faster than the Fessa now can I!? I send some pics when it's all back together. Give me a shout if you're ever visiting the Isle of Wight:)

Yes its a shame about the seats but leather is much more practical given that we have a small terrier. It came from Solo Italia so they may have realised about the seats, but rare as they are I don't think cloth seats sell. An FC Performance map really improves the drive, but it is interesting to hear the comparison straight from the horses mouth (sorry) It is simple to swap chips to return it to standard, but I reckon you would only do it if selling. It would be interesting to see a photo. Likewise give me a shout if you are ever in Devon.
