Fantastic looking Coop on for sale... #1596363

It really does look like a nice example. One that's been modded tastefully (the Porsche blue really suits it! love ) and looked after too.

I'm sure it was on sale before, a couple of months ago, on PistonHeads (with the same photos - they are quite distinct after all) for about......£5000?!? confused

Does anyone else remember seeing this Coop before?

Towards the end of the description it says, ''Please no silly offers cost me over 20k and 3 years to do it. Genuine reason for sale.'' From this wording it appears as if it's more like an individual selling it, and not a garage. So did the garage buy it and are now reselling it for a higher price and just reusing a description that the previous seller may have used on PistonHeads?

But then again, the background in the photos is the same as all their other cars on sale at the moment. So it must have been the garage selling it previously as the photos appear to be the same ones from a couple of months ago! crazy

Was it even on for £5000 previously, or am I imagining that and it was actually a highly priced example previously too? confused

I'm not a fan of cosmetically modified coupes but I like that, though not to the tune of £13k

Yep! saw this the last time it was for sale. From the pictures it looks professionally worked on & if that's the sort of thing that floats your boat, but most comments were not my cup of tea. No for me as well.


I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

The wording is same/similar to the last advert which was last year. The seller was after circa £10K at the time. Far too chavvy for me. New owner could be reusing the blurb and pics?

Further evidence for me that the days of us bemoaning the coupe as under-valued might well be turning a corner and with a little encouragement from the eagle-eyed the prices are being hiked up as its being recognised as a collectors' item....

bit confused about the badge though......its got 369bhp not 400 and isnt that a badge meant for a car with an LS2 V8?

In its favour, it looks to have been done to a very high standard. Yes, its an acquired taste, but most visually-modified Coupes fall into that category

Little bits that put me off are the incorrect mileage in the ad (its done nearer 120k, not 117k), the daft "designo Pininfarina" badges (they only bit they designed was the interior) and the ridiculous "400HP LS2" badge.

The slightly more worrying aspect is the fact its showing 2.75 bar oil pressure on a cold engine - not normally a huge issue, but it has only just been rebuilt - should be showing a solid 3 bar

I like it. It's not overly modified bodywise and the interior is done well but I'm not a fan of the seats.
Needs leather imo.

It may now be up for sale for its third time I think.

Looks remarkably similar to this one - wheels and filler cap are different, but same body kit, colour, sticker in the side window, and same power output. Just watch the speedo shots as the needle flies round. Blimey. And on his own private test track too. Yeh, right...
