Coupe spotting area

People have spotted coops in new zealand, australia and africa but nobody has spotted one in east yorkshire yet?!

Robii Maybe I can help !! well get the posts up a bit for East Yorkshire. Returing to Essex yesterday from Bridlington (East coast) spotted a sprint Blue 20vt on the A165 between Beverley and Bridlington at around Midday. See a few around there on my visits to the East Coast, great driving roads in the area.

Anyone on here ??

Clean dark blue 16v N--- HAE on A614 between Goole and Howden at 9am today

Steel grey S--- TWG in the outside lane (is there anywhere else to be in a Coop ) westbound on the M62 between Howden and Goole just gone half past one today.

MrsF spotted a dark blue coop in Beverly yesterday, model unknown.

Steel Grey R--- VRK parked up in Howden at half one today?

Speed Red 20v R--- EHO parked up near Shell garage just off the M62 near Goole at about 1.50 today. You were on the phone - don't know if you clocked me or not...

Dark Blue 16v N--- OJV heading west on the A63 near Newsholme about 8.40 this morning. Flashed but not sure if you saw me through all the rain and manky weather.

Well ill be coupe spotting around my home area now as im heading back there for three weeks, hope im not disappointed, lookin forward to seein loadsa coupes flyin around!!!

Will keep em peeled - whereabouts are you?

I lived in Basingstoke and Hook years ago.

Im now in driffield now, havent seen any yet, there are tonnes round the Hook way, mines still best looking though

Grey LE at Shiptonthorpe roundabout at about 6.20pm looked well taken care of!Belong to anyone here?

Spotted again on Bridgegate in Howden at 3.20 this afternoon.

Had to get through loads of cobwebs to post this

Clocked black coop on M62 heading towards Hull about 1430hrs today.

Whereabouts? Deffo black? I was plodding that route in my dark blue bad boy at about 2pm?

May have been dark blue - the weather was pretty grim. We were Leeds bound after a day out at The Deep. The spot was approx 20 miles west of Hull

It was lousy all day over that way yesterday. Could have been me - came off J37 (Goole way) just before 2pm.

And again yesterday. You definitely ain't the waving type are ya?

R-reg Portofino 20VT on A63 heading west through roadworks at Loftsome Bridge this morning - I ain't used to mornings and was half asleep.

Must have been you Paul - ain't seen you for ages. Hope she's going well.

Red coop on Brid to Scarborough road yesterday afternoon.

Ink black (with white rear light surrounds) on Shannon Road, East Hull this morning @ 8am, was on the bus so you didn't see me

Yellow Coupe stationary -Bridlington South

I was on that road in my Red 20v n/a about 4.30/5.00 heading to Scarborough from Bridlington.

I visit Brid often (lived there for 15 years) so I'll look out for you csj2k... we have the same colour car so hard to miss

Very clean looking S-reg Scotts Green heading into Selby, near the station, at 255 this afternoon.

Speed Red coming out of the bus/train car park next to Tescos, centre of Hull at 7.35 this morning, had 16v alloys (so assuming 16v). Was in the speed red 20vt coupe, flashed ya

Thursday 22nd in Skirlaugh. Pretty sure it was blue. (Sadly at the time mine was on the drive awaiting a new starter motor).

Broom yellow R-reg 20VT (think plate was LGP) on Bridgegate, Howden, about 1.10pm today.

Madness - second Broom Yellow in Howden in two days. N-reg heading out of town on the back road towards the A63 about quarter to three this afternoon.

Gorgeous Broom Yellow on A165 this afternoon, between Beeford and Brandsburton... flashed ya and got a wave

Hi everyone, im new to the forum, live in Hull and dont currently own a Coupe but ill be remedying that soon. Ive even sold my beloved Alfa 155 to aid me to get one.

Anyway ive been Coupe spotting recentley and spotted a red 20VT (no reg) on stoneferry about a month ago and spotted a W plated metallic mid blue LE on Hessle high Rd yesterday. Looked awesome

Hi sebasteeno, red one was probably me, I live in east hull and travel on stoneferry every day on my way to and from work. Best of luck with the coop hunting, and if you want any local help drop me a pm.

Alan at Woodcock Car Sales (Anlaby Road) has his nice broom yellow 20vt for sale, he's the local coop specialist so it isn't cheap, but well looked after.

Hiya, yeah i see that one at Woodcocks all the time and at £3600 for an R plate is a bit ott for me. He's had it ages too and uses it as his daily driver afaik. My budget will be a lot smaller and ill probably just be buying a 20V none turbo for now.

BTW kid at work has a Portofino Blue 20V that i see daily, also on Stoneferry.

I think Alan has dropped the price to under £3k now, but yes, it is a little on the pricey side

I saw a porto on Leeds Road some time ago, it was seeing this car that made me buy mine...I hate this guy! lol

As I said, best of luck with the search, are you buying to porto by any chance? We'll have to meet up one night for a soft drink

Dont get yer but if you was asking am i buying his porto then no. Only want red or black

bit of a typo there, but you got it anyway ("are you buying the porto"). Obviously not

N reg 16v Red parked this lunch time just off New Lands Ave in Hull. Walked straight past it as it was on the end of a junction on the other side of the road then i caught the corner of my eye!

My was safely tucked away behind a building where no one could see it (or hurt it)

Driven a couple of hundred miles in the past few days and only seen that one parked up!

Ink Black 20vt this morning heading towards B&Q Roundabout (Clough Road) around 8am, anyone on here?

yeah, sounds like me on way to ex's

Last Friday, "R" Ink Black on A1079 Market Weighton. Anyone?

Silver coupe near hull town centre, was facing you in my Scottie about 1.00pm

That was me, I just saw you as you turned right

Very nice coupe bud 1st one I have seen in the 3 months I have had mine

Thanks, same here actually, not seen another out on the road since I got this one, only at JBT's and Santa Pod.

Very nice dark blue coupe near hull city centre fire station and a porto going towards lambwath

was that the other day you seen the porto, with zender kit?

if so it was me, yours sounded glorious when you turned off, and bloody hell its LOW!

Spotted a yellow coupe with a rollcage coming out of york raceway, and lots more inside.

And i've now just spotted your club events bit!

Lol, that was Begbie

He was with the other Coupes you saw there.

Didn't know it was you until afterwards and didn't know you were on the forum until after we spoke either.

Johnnybravoturbo was the one you raced against and mattM was the other Coupe on the track.

The rest of us didn't have the guts to do it

Its a good laugh, the one running on the purple wheels was f-ing fast.

He thought you were pretty quick too

I have video footage of you both, so will post it up on here within the next day or do

Ah, that was you then Did wonder that it was a bit random to see a coupe in such a out of the way location.

Thanks chap,
Torque aint cheap though.

Bridlington based myself

Dark blue V-reg with non-standard alloys parked up in Howden about 5pm on Friday.

That'll be my wife in my car. When I have to drive to London for work we swap. So I get to drive a Ford Fiesta. Hmm.

Seen a few coupes in hull in the past week
A red coupe with a spoiler usually down Holderness rd and a nice dark mettalic blue coupe usually passing through Wyton Bilton area

Ive got the dark mettalic blue 20V6 on the Wyton Road ...shes currently off the road and needs some turbo surgery ...will be back soonish...

Very nice coupe bud inspired me to trade in the e36 tourer and get my 2nd coupe
What's up with turbo

Im glad my coupe inspired you ....its going for a new one fitted 20th may at Midlands Car servicing plus MOT and a few other bits and bobs so will be good for summer ...miss driving it,currently driving the wifes Puma ..good little driver to be fair.

Hi, Im a new member and just listed a local meet in Doncaster if any of you near by fancy attending or calling by on the day.
Just put details in UK social events section.

Seen a few Coupes in Hull recently. Always see my brothers green 20VT (he's in Sutton) then saw a silver/grey 20VT a few nights ago on Sutton road then a few days ago a metallic blue plus (I think) on Kingswood when I was in my Alfa 155. We acknowledged each other in our tasty Italian metal both saying we loved each other cars. There also used to be a nasty looking red 20VT on Greatfield a few months ago too

Hey sebasteeno,

That was me that waved to your brother in the scotts green on Leeds Rd, he lives just up from me and I've driven past his car a few times when I've been dropping my mate off on Howdale Rd. Mine is the steel grey LE. Seen the blue plus a few times, there was also a sprinty up at kingswood that I waved to frequently, but not seen that one for a while.

I take it by your avatar you have a steely too? Look forward to seeing you on the road sometime

No I nearly bought one a few years ago but it never happened. Then I bought another 155 and the rest is history. I have owned a yellow 16V Coupe but soon got rid as it didn't have much guts. I took a pic of your 155 the other night when I was following you though I was in my daily car
Is this you?

This is my bros Coupe 20VT and my Alfa 155 near Rise Hall when his turbo went pop a few months back
[img]http://www.cloverleaf4.co.uk/images/uploads/28993.jpg[/img]

I have a massive soft spot for the Coupe and have toyed with selling my 155 on quite a few occasions but with only 250 155s left on the road in the uk and the amount of money and rare bits mine has I just cant bare to sell

Oh btw I saw another Coupe 20VT on George street the other day this time a wine red one which looked nice and tidy

Yep, that was me in the pic

Owned a 155 myself quite a few years ago, cloverleaf version, twin webbers, my mate at the time had a mk2 astra gte 16v and it couldn't keep up with the alfa! Yours is a very nice example, I'm not surprised you want to keep a hold of it!

Next time you see me get me to pull over and we'll have a chat.

Was speaking to Alan yesterday (Woodcocks Alfa/Fiat specialist) and he said that he services two more coupes, so there must be more around here.

Nice Porto behind me at Beverly Road roundabout this morning, turned off at Dunswell, anyone on here?

Hi there ,

Darren

Darren

Hey Harris,

Used to see you a lot in your Sprinty when I had my red coupe, think I also bought some parts off you a while back too.

Good to know that you're still around mate

Seen another wine red one today off Preston Road. Every time I see one I think sell the 155 and buy one but then im scared I miss my 155 too much

[img]http://www.cloverleaf4.co.uk/images/uploads/29965.jpg[/img]

First spot in yonks - Wine Red R-reg on the A63 near Howden yesterday afternoon at 4pm. Being driven by a lass and I think had a whack on the driver's door.

Well ive made a decision! My 155 is up for sale and once sold im buying a Coupe 20VT so that will be another in Hull

Good choice Seb!
I love 155's but the extra performance of the coupe is why I bought one instead of a 155.
Any preference on colour/spec?

Has to be the 20VT. Im open to lots really. Would love the tan interior so a colour to match either Sprint or the wine red or quite taken with a Broom with any interior. Will see what comes about..............if I sell my 155 of course

Spotted scotts green fiat coupe in Doncaster on Friday 4/7/14.

I don't know the details as it was my girlfriend that spotted you haha.

Well that's one less Coupe in Hull as my brothers engine has blown up so its getting broken for parts. On the positive side hes not looking for a plus or LE

hi all I have a white 20vt and living between Bridlington and Beverley if anyone is around my area?

I'll keep a look out for you as I'm always driving out to Brid, not seen a white coupe before so you'll stand out

ok cool just ordered a new bodykit and spoiler for it today. is there any more coupe's around?

First spot in ages. Kitted yellow 20VT going west on the M62 near Selby at about 1140 on Friday.

Yellow W-reg 20VT going west on the M62 near Goole yesterday about 1215ish - think you took the M18 exit.

P plate sprinty with black wheels crashed in a garage near hull

Nice red 20v on savoy road in Hull this morning. Think it was a W plate

White coupe's on A1033 near Hedon leaving Hull, alot of body kit and big spoiler. Black stickers too. Female driver and sunny day.

And ive just bought this car!!!!

Well done seb. I wondered how long you could resist a 20vt
Are you keeping the 155 too?

Yes mate all tucked away in its garage. Got quite a nice stable now - 155, 159SW, Coupe 20VT & 156SW (mrs car)

Very nice mate. I quite fancy a 159 myself.

Saw you driving your coupe past Wilberforce College yesterday morning

Hi Seb
I pass Wilberforce College at least twice a day, as I live just around the corner What were you driving, have you got that sprinty back on the road yet?

Hiya mate, its getting there - off to manchester in a couple of hours to pick up a sprint bonnet

I was driving a black Alfa 159SW - ill flash you next time

Ah, that's why I didn't see you
Be great to see another coupe around Hull, getting rather lonely now lol

Will keep my eyes peeled when I'm over that way - can't beat a spot but they're a rare thing, getting rarer .

Portofino Blue heading west on the M62, near Selby, yesterday afternoon at 2.45. Didn't clock the plate but was going nicely in the outside lane.

Only just noticed this thread – that’ll have been me. My Coop mostly does motorway miles these days …

Sadly you wont be seeing the Coupe i bought on the road around Hull. Discovered the chassis leg was bent so now the engine is in my Alfa 155 awaiting electrics to be rigged up

Oh no, sorry to hear that Seb

Every cloud n all that mate - now my 155 will have 20vt power!

Silver coop heading into Hull on Friday around 5:00 clock maybe 5:30. with windows down as it was a red hot day. I was in a Motorhome going the opposite way

I think I've got the only silver coupe in Hull at the moment, so it was more than likely me. Which road were you on C2D? I would have been leaving work heading from Beverley to Hull on Friday. Now if it was Thursday I'd have been coming into Hull on the A63 at the opposite end of town after visiting Bolton for the day.

It was probably you then ioksotot We were on the road out of Hull heading towards Beverly. We were heading for a campsite in Snainton near Scarborough.

Yeah, definitely me then Chris, sorry I missed you if you waved

R-reg Portofino near South Cave this morning about 8am.

Wheres best to take 20VTs and knows the engines in Hull, East Yorkshire or maybe further afield? I need to get my 155 finished off properly as its got a few things that arnt right and i want it done properly?
