I would hazzard a guess at £10k. As a long-term proposition though, this is a good way to get the best example of a Coupé for keeps.

Who cares what it is worth within a year, I am sure if I get one of these "New" Malaysia Coupe, I will keep her for a very long time, 2nd hand value will not mean anything for me in this ocassion.

Anonymous Unregistered A	As stated above, €25,000 equates to around £16,000, which for a brand new (in terms of mileage and useage) Coupe is a damn good deal, I guess things like rubbers (belts and tyres, and certain seals) may have perished a little over that time of standing around. But being they have been stored in a relatively dry climate, and not driven they've got to be in pretty good condition. And Pearl White too....

We talked about this way back, and I did a very quick/rough mock-up. I think the consensus at the time was "no"..... Habeus Maximus V8 Nihilum

First dibs on the bonnet and the rear shockers! I'll provide the socket sets, screwdrivers and ribe sockets, can anyone provide a few trolley jacks?
