I was looking at the service history for my Coupe and had forgotten I first purchased it back in 2002 so it's been in my hands for 13 years give or take. I wonder how many longer term owners we have on the forum?

<cough>

Neil's obviously too ill to reply, but he's probably the oldest long-term 1 owner from new Coupe owner with his N-reg 16v n/a, owned since Aug 95 IIRC. I come a poor second, 2nd owner (after Fiat UK) but owned for 18 years (since Feb '97)

I'll have had mine for 9 years in July

April '97 from new. Will be 18 in just over 2 weeks.

Owner of a steel grey 20v turbo which I bought second hand in 2003. So nearly 12 years.

It's now starting to show its age, but I've been slowly working my way through everything that needs doing.

However as much as i would like, don't see it being suitable as a daily driver any longer.

4 years this month and still going strong

the oldest and the most ill !!

Since 2001

12 years coming up next week.

Only 8 years for me but it's the longest I've kept a car but owned a 6 speed , plus and an le .

7 years and still love every time I see and hear the coupes

I'm on my 2nd coupe and have enjoyed my ownership for a little over 7 years. Here's to the next 7!

11 years and very nearly 160k miles miles for me.

Raising myself from my sickbed...

October 95.

Plus a cupra new from early 2003, a kit very secondhand from 2008, and the bravo s/h from 2012 (which I've put nearly 120k on).

9th year and on my second one. Never dreamt I would own a car this long.
Still look back at it in car parks (poser)

only 5 years for me, still glance back at them too

6 years for me although she's been laid up for a year. I'm finally starting to feel the love again.

6 Years with the LE for me but my second Coupe - 16V NA before - though I am getting a yearning for a Brera S currently! Glad to see you're still about Gary. Didn't think I'd seen your car around Coventry for a while.... Hope alls' well....

I've been popping in from time to time to see how things are these days. I haven't posted for a while but I want to get back into the swing of things

I left Coventry a while ago now but I'm only down the road now, in slightly leafier parts.

Sadly my coupe has seen better days. It's either going to need a full resto job both mechanically and bodily or she's destined for the great scrap heap in the sky I'm afraid . I've made sure she's been started and left to idle for a good while at least once a week but a wheel hasn't turned for a year now. I just need to find someone who wants to take on a big job.

Hope you're well buddy.

10 years for me

40k miles in that time.

Clearly need to drive it more!

9 years for me and on my second sprinty!

1 Month for me, But over 20 Coupe's since 2004

Almost 10 years for me, although now on my 2nd coupe.

I've had coupes for 9 years, my current coupe for 7 years

In April it would have been 11 years of ownership, It's the only coop I've ever driven.

Had a coupe since 2000, near 5 years on the present

I have have 5 coupes since 2009, I got my keeper nearly 2 years ago and it's still in bits from the weekend.......weep!

I have owned my Coupe since 2004 and it is the only one that I have driven.

Could that be because they are a rare car "Downunder"?
