Unfortunately Pat's budget wouldn't stretch far enough to sort all the issues making this a solid reliable Coupé.

That is a shame.

I have stayed on top of the maintenance-bodywork and mechanical for the last 13 years, couple of weeks ago had the floorplan re-treated it was in very good condition but the underseal is 20 years old so was starting to get patchy, os boot rust issue (just had a brown line on the joint) but once the liners were completely off the rust was cut out, welded etc and repainted and the two front sill sections by the front wheels restored to their glory, all was not noticeable from the a cursory look underneath.....should keep her on the road for a few more years and also stop a mega bill.

Some Coupe's appear mint/well maintained on the exterior but as your Facebook pages show a host of issues seem lurk in the shadow as they get into their twilight years. I think we may have another cull in the next 18 months as long-term owners start looking at big $$$'s to keep their Coupe's and decide that it is not economically viable for them.

Yes it is a shame for sure as it means we're loosing another Coupé, yes it can be restored but it needs a good budget to bring it back as a solid reliable vehicle, Pat hasn't got this so it has to be what it is so he can cover his costs.

Spare wheel looks mint! Coupes certainly don't appear to hold up to off=road outdoor storage.

It is....

Omg where would you start....if only we'd realised....

Joe, If it is going to be scrapped, any chance of getting the bits off it that I have emailed you about, and still awaiting a reply?

Possum, hang on a tad, it's already been shipped back to Scotland.....

Also there's a small chance it might be taken on as a project......

Thanks for info.

Hope it is taken on as a project as we want to keep them on the road.

I'm just after the removable panel in the OS wheel arch which covers the crank pulley etc and a red hazard flasher switch. Of course, these are different to those in the 20V.
