Also giving up Coupe ownership

So the time has come for me to move on and I will be putting the Coupe up for sale soon.
With all the work and money that has gone into the car, it doesn't really make sense to let it go so soon, but since the car has been mapped, it's just been sitting at home and not used enough. I know it's a 'weekend toy', but in the meantime, I'm driving a cheap run around through London and back everyday and I hate it! I need something more comfortable and a better all round everyday car as I can't afford to have both that and the Coupe.
The wife and I are also saving up to buy another property, so the extra cash would come in handy.
The thought of using the Coupe as an everyday car crossed my mind, but I cannot justify driving a 563bhp car at 20mph in stop start traffic and wearing it out. It needs to spend its time on the open road(and track days if that's your thing).
I know Barbz will read this with a heavy heart as he spent so much time on the car, but everyone moves on at some point.

I hope someone buys this and keeps it in one piece. Would hate another high power coupe to get broken.

I won't be breaking the car. Too much time went into it and it's pretty much perfect. I already have a possible buyer in Spain, so she might go over the water.

Sorry to hear you are wrapping up your Coupe time. Good man for keeping it one piece though  Have you thought of a price?

Let's not turn this into a for sale thread please Nick.
A rare car in Spain Biggenz, I have only ever seen one on the Costa del Sol.
16VT and X1/9 1500 + e208 Peugeot
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using. I even unplugged my own.

Of course Pete, it was just querying if there was a yard stick.

I'm sure people are smart enough to PM Biggenz about his Coupe if they are seriously interesting in buying it, rather than get this thread locked.
I know Coupe prices in mainland Europe are a lot higher than here, so perhaps you'll get (and rightly so) a considerably higher amount for it than if you sold it in the UK.

There are things in life you wish you didn't see and think. Ones that just offend your brain. Thanks Pete

I can't believe you are selling up already. The next owner will be one lucky man/woman
