Yup after 9 years with the coupe, the itch has finally been scratched and I've sold it on to an ex-coupe owner (from years ago) today and reckon it's gone to a good home. Like myself, it's a familiar story of selling a coupe then returning again to drive one of the most distinctive cars still on the road. Like everyone one on here, there's been ups and downs with ownership but highlights gotta be Turin 30th and the Top Gear shoot the year before. Of course the shows were a great opportunity to catch up with other members and bore the public half to death yaking on about Bangles finest . But the need for more hassle free car ownership and having other priorities to focus on meant the difficult decision had to be made.

Keep the flag flying high and I salute you all keeping the coupe spirit alive

Yes sad news Alan but as you say unforgettable experiences gained along the way and your contribution to the Club in the past is much appreciated.

Happy driving the new kid on the block

Morning Alan

I hope that you are well.

I think that you have made the correct decision.
Owning a car but keeping it in storage is probably for folk with plenty of free space and spare money.

unless you are able to pop along and look at the car, start it for a while and maintain it, then it is just an additional expenditure.

best wishes and I hope that we still can meet up at Raby.

Sad for you G_Man- but totally understand.

And you have done the decent thing - made sure that you have sold it to someone who will have a half chance of understanding it, looking after it and making sure its maintained!

And as you rightly say - you have memories in that car that no-one can take from you!

Best wishes in the new practical car and hope you keep on looking at the forum and the club!

Regards
