An interesting read.

Why have we not heard of Kirk Miller and Italicar? Or have we, and I wasn't paying attention?

I only met them by mistake really when I was visiting Renson Close in Norwich on one of my many trips to my garage in Norfolk and Nick Harper and Italicar organise an annual Italian Day.

Renson Close is a kind of East Anglian mecca for all 'affordable' italian marques

I've never met them but Italicar are quite active on Twitter so I know about them having been following them on there for a while. Seem enthusiastic about the Coupe!

Strangely enough i saw that ink black coupe today. About 4pm on st faiths road, which is just round the corner from itallicar. I bought my first car ( an Alfa 146) off his brother luke. Nice blokes, they're always happy to see a coupe pull up even if it's just for a chat.
I went round when they first got that inky for a nose around it, low miles but very neglected. They did a fabulous job bringing it back to life.

Good read, thanks for sharing. I'd not heard about Italicar either, and I'm pleased to hear they are enthusiastic about the Coupe.

Nice to read something new without the usual 'designed by Pininfarina' and 'cambelt is an engine out job' nonsense.

Hadn't realised they'd thought about calling it the 'Graffio'. I quite like it - a sort of cross between graffiti and the Gruffallo!

Did you miss this bit? ;-)

"But the Coupé isn’t just a pretty face; the Pininfarina designed interior..."

That bit's alright, because it was...

Always enjoy a good coupe review. Thanks for posting

I like this ....

"decent examples are now achieving good results at classic car auctions. Most serious buyers are clamouring for untouched, low mileage examples of the 20V Turbo. These aren’t easy to find given the Coupé’s long standing appeal to modifiers and tuners, so good quality unmolested examples are likely to keep rising in value – particularly the special edition LE and Plus models, which already attract a premium"

Thumbs up from me
