Are these cars still Attention Grabbers?
Do you get lots of comments and looks in yours?

I imagine it depends on colour too

Colour I think is a big factor in any car- particularly, in my experience, Italian motors- Broom yellow or Sprint Blue being the ultimate Coupe colours for attracting attention (in my opinion)

Are they still "attention grabbers"? I think so- through rarity enough these days and I honestly think time has been very kind to the Coupe shape- particularly as there isn't much else that looks like it.

If you have any knowledge of Italian car design history, you can see all the references in it and it's just a very polite, dynamic, individual car with often the performance to back it up.

Are you going to be an owner D1on...?

JimP

I get comments pretty much every time i go out in mine and it's not even one of the sportier colours. Probably about half are people just asking what it is, the other half are mostly kids pointing and asking their dad's about "the sports car".

Who cares about comment's. I dont. I was asked when parking my coupe outside a french village bar. Joseph ? Have you won the Lotto ?

It means nowt. Enjoy the coupe while you can.

^^ +1 Joe!

To the uninitiated banker and stock market friends of mine I've had Custard "valued" at 10-15k. If only.

Although I think you're asking a somewhat biased audience this question. Throw it up on the pistonheads forum for a less biased appraisal.

Speed Red is the best colour for kerbside attention (said kerbside not kerb crawling LOL).

Saturday in Monmouth, Gina's 20V got more attention than the Mondial LOL.

Ha! really?!

that's hilarious...!

Coupe looks better Jim, the mondial is a bit square, Coupes have lovely curves SIGH!!!!!!

When we play hockey or cricket away from home I'm never short of "volunteers" to come with me.....

Yes I do - from all ages and pedestrians are always eyeing it up too

it's simply because they are rare, if they were as common as a Mondeo, they wouldn't after a while simple as.

Main thing with me though - it's on the road I get the unwanted attention - boy racers right up your a*se, to the point where you can't see their headlights vying for a race, even in heavy rush-hour town traffic every journey I make!

At the end of the day, this is a classic car & I don't want my back end caved in - and these idiots have zero chance of avoidng a collision if I have to brake hard.

Thats the 'attention' I hate!

Not allowed to race, it's Gina's car, christ she'd kill me LOL.

I think they're called carers

My yellow one attracts more attention than my electric blue Plus driving towards them, but the Plus attracts more from behind due to beautiful exhaust note and dump valve

Now the racer tail-gaters can enjoy my 4 fabulous Nismo LED lights

My sprinty when clean on a petrol forecourt under all the lights, highlighting the organic elements of the styling shape, just looks the dogs, and I see loads of people looking it

LMFAO..... at least I can eat my curry without drooling/crying Mind you, I wasn't sitting opposite Porky

No you weren't, you were in your room dribbling into the sink

Yes they do, still a work of art to look at!

Went on the big food shop today and a little lad of about 6 started tugging at his mother's arm and shouting "mummy, mummy wow, look at that car What is it" whilst pointing at my coop.

Coops are epic.

She's obviously not a good enough Mum to him, he should have known what the car was

Jimmy Saville missed a trick. The kids seem to definitely like them

Driving in Leeds on Wednesday morning, sat at a set of traffic lights with a bus next to me, one school girl looks over. Turns away to tell her friends, and suddenly i have a dozen school girls all waving at me from the side of this bus.

Sadly last night a woman of far more suitable age told me she saw the rear lights and thought I drove a Skyline, and was less impressed to discover what it was.

I have just pressed the 'LIKE' button against your tongue-in-cheeks and dark post

I have a rear blind which I always put up in winter so I can't see the tosser behind me who's too close or failing to dazzle me.

She must not have had any class.

I usually find that if you touch the brake pedal with your left foot (just enough to put on the brake lights) and floor it with your right foot, a message will be sent.

Definately though if mine is parked anywhere it tends to be miles away from anyone else! I've had many a comment in a garage and one elderly chap who looked like an extra from Goodfella's spotted me in a car park and actually moved his 145 to be by me and chat.........

I do this all the time!

A lot of scallys in keighley.

Just driving into my road - 4 young lads about 13 or 14 stare at my yellow coupe turning, not less than 2 fell over the kerb due to watching so avidly

... are you Dave Lee Travis in disguise

You wouldn't need a disguise

Went to he classic car show at the NEC today. Wife was delighted to get a photo with Edd China...... . Anyway, when getting back into our sprint blue 20VT on the carpark, a passer-by was heard to say "look, he's even come in his own classic car...."
The only pity was that there were no Coupes in the show itself.
