There is no way i'd keep it on the road, it would get trashed in no time frown .. and garages cost a fortune to rent .. so, i'd rather let the car go to another enthusiast.


I'm not so sure it would take the beating you think it might on the street mate. Most Pompy parking is top and tail, so you shouldn't get any door dings outside your new house (where ever it might be).

You'll never find a garage big enough to park that in. wink

IMO and I'm sure a few others a good coupé is worth the money however I've now decided that as these cars haven't got enough buyers out there that the good coupés deserve I'm going to keep mine until the time comes when I can afford to take the losses involved with selling a coupé and until then just keep her well maintained and not mod her anymore. The longer I keep it the more I can justify selling it cheap later, considering it as deprecation. wink

Seriously he's the sort of guy you really want to buy a car from, thanks again Duncan!

I have seen this car also (at duffy's) and if your gonna spend £5k on a coupe, this is the kind of car you can expect. Its a 11yr old car (I think) so its never gonna be a1 or mint, but its as close to the best coupe you could buy. Duffy has pointed out a few things he would like to do crazy but personally I wouldn't change a thing on the car. Well worth the money.

Thnaks for the nice comments Ross.

When it comes to changing it. I'm not really, I'm just continuing Duncan's work on maintaining it as you'd hope a car like this would be, the front end respray will take care of the inevitable stone chipping that happens, under the bonnet needs some minor restoration/protection with an eye to the future and that's just about it.
