Browsing autotrader after missing my old coupe and found this:
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201902074701494

I've looked at coupe ads for quite a number of years, and as far as 20vt plus, I've never seen anything close to mileage that low. Better get saving shocked

The link didn’t work for me however I I just found a great car on Auto Trader: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201902074701494

Japanese import and looks mint!

That really is testing the ceiling of the prices at the moment.

I noticed that yesterday and nearly fell over at the price. Although didn't notice the mileage.

Looks lovely but at £20k I'd want it to be concours condition.

It looks lovely. But 20k....

That could buy you two, maybe three other nice coupes.

Very, very nice...with a lovely interior.

Yes, but maybe the hole in the wing is too big to fit the normal round ones? It also has the headlight squirters, not easy to hide those either frown

Then I would certainly swap the wings for UK/Euro spec ones.
Interesting to know if the headlight squirters on coupe are of any actual benefit? crazy

If the Coupe headlamps are (in)famously modelled on Chris Bangle's wife's bum, what do the headlamp washers represent?

....... and the if a potential owner wants to change the square side repeaters for OE they'll need new wings due to a square hole fitting.

Would be interesting to see what stick on overlay this dealer will use on the speedo.

Rocker cover could do with a bit of work!

I'd probably have the headlight washers removed, the most pointless thing to have on a coupe imo. They belong on off-roaders...
