I take no credit in this and it has to be given to GrahamL for taking the time to scan all of these articles nabbing them off the web. Due to the limit on Graham's web hosting, I have hosted them for everyone to see.

To be fair, I didn't actually scan any of it myself, it's just a load of stuff I've collected over the years from here, the old forum and elsewhere on the web.

Yep - some good reads there not seen by me before cool

(At the time I'd moved on from wanting a Corrado and only had eyes for the BMW Coupe, as I owned a 3 series saloon and although a Fiat was on the company car list, we all totally dismissed it!) blush laugh
Went for a Lexus IS200 at the time which was new out with loads of toys, a 6 speed box and silky smooth straight six.

Many many years ago (over 10 I think) I remember seeing a magazine cover with possibly three coops on it, all front facing the camera, possibly as if driving towards it. I think the middle one was a silver one with a Cada or Zender bumper and possibly a Cada grill. Basically I vaguely remember getting a 'modified coops' vibe from it. And there may have been an Italian flag/Italian flag colours on there too. Anyone else remember this?

Note that Virginmedia have said they're closing all user webspace by the end of April (on schedule as usual! rolleyes ) so the files could disappear at any time.

That exact model? That was from a photoshoot I went along to at Brooklands with my old white Fiat Dino where Phil Ward (AutoItalia) brought along the yellow 16vt, there was an article in the magazine on "Fiat Coupes" (IIRC also with a 124 Coupe and 2300 Coupe) where some photo captions were mixed up. Oh and yes, that was my UCB article cool

Yep the exact car. It had been in Edinburgh under a private plate DFL 1 IIRC, whose family are much involved in the music business up here as it turns out and whose offspring I knew.

He then changed it for a Seat Cupra Leon, same colour.
