....I haven't seen another Coupe since I've owned mine (about 3 weeks now). Are they really that rare now? Had my waving hand ready and finger on the flash stalk but they've lost all circulation.

Oh yeah. They really are.
When I owned my previous one in around 2006 I still only saw about one a month. Now, I see maybe 4 or 5 a year where I live.
Unless I organise or attend a meet that is.... in Turin 2014 I saw 150 in one day !!
It is great to own such a rare beast.

I've had mine for 1 year and a half now and haven't seen any coupe on the road yet. Belgium coupe nr's are pretty low

I've only seen one other Coupe since I bought mine in September, and that wasn't even in Northern Ireland. I saw it in Wales. I've had a few people come up and comment on how rare they are and ask me about mine.

Isn't there a whole section devoted to spotted?
On a separate note, random ones seem to pop up locally. Usually for sale in garages then vanish without trace...
There's a red 20v local at the minute. Never saw it before it was put up. It's only a few hundred quid....

Got into conversation with our local street sweeper after he spotted the coupe and turns out he's a bit of a car fan. He told me the location and colour of all the coupes in my town!

I think there is at least 4 or 5 in Banbury. Certainly 4 or 5 club Members in Banbury and I see a standard silver 20VT quite a lot which i'm pretty sure isn't a member of this forum

I'm currently doing a course in Leicester and I've seen a green one every morning but it's only the 3rd I've seen on the road in a year and a half.
I've waved of course but no reply

Having said that for some reason the Welsh seem to love em.
I know of about 10 within a 5 mile radius of where I live which is remarkable considering how few are still left on the roads!

Unbelievably broke my duck less than 100 yards from my house!!!! Spotted a red Coupe with and Italian stripe down the passenger side in Cheslyn Hay!!! Did wave but I may have been traveling rather briskly. Off to the spotted thread now!!!
