Did you happen to see the other one they have for sale there, the yellow 20v vis ?


Sorry I didn't. It looks like it has been looked after in the advert, certainly had all the belts and diagnostics done.

Take my sincere advise.

Don't even come close to buying a coupe, you'll end up in disaster, financial problems and issues that you never wanted to see !

Buy something reliable, probably something which is not Fiat !

Shan - you should apply the Thumperian Principle to your posts

In 100 posts, you haven't said one good thing about the Coupe - why are you here?

It's probably only one of the many banned users using an old log in anyway?

Someone like BJ or Andre/Spit or whatever!

Just a quick read through his post history gives you the shan story.
I need coupe..fit spoiler...need more power...maintainance bills ...coupes are s%*£....I'm not bitter but...

What we have here is a complete lack of understanding of what it takes to buy and run an ageing italian car.

But he's not the first or the last. banghead

Wafcarl, that moony looks a stunner and Paul is a top coupe man.Nice move. thumb

Ah - you have a good car there - it has the REALLY low mileage engine out of my own Moonie Plus. I drove it for a couple of weeks before Paul did the engine transplant from my modded Sprinty. It is a good strong engine - very smooth and good on fuel too

I honestly thought Paul was going to keep it after fitting the engine. Seems the lure of the LE has got to him...

Could have had it tomorrow, but no one to pick up from Birmingham. Oh well, everything good comes to those who wait. cool

Could you send me details on that or will they just come up on the forum? I would love to go in a convoy of Coops, bet there are some admiring glances.

I owe all of you, so at minimum would like to wish you all the best. I was nearly stuck with an overpriced 16vTurbo from a garage only too pleased to miss sell a car.

Instead, I now have a 20vTurbo from an Italian car specialist in Motormech. I was expecting to pay a petrol bill, but even this was sorted by Paul as my car came with a tank of fuel meaning Birmingham to Wigan no problem.

A good day to check out reliability today, minus 8 this morning and still below zero has presented no problem what so ever.
I will now repay Paul, Motormech and yourselves by looking after the car good and proper.

Thanks all, I will take some pictures soon.

Think I may stay a night. If it's on a Saturday or a Sunday, a hotel Saturday night would be great.
As soon as place and dates are confirmed, I'll check out some hotels and get one booked. smile
