Spotted a red coupe last Sunday (18th Dec) New Zealand Between Alexandra & Cromwell in the Gorge. Gee, not many coupes down this way, first one I've seen acually, love to know if its local or just passing through. They looked surprised to see me also. Really acknowledged me also.

Saw a bluey in Wellington, NZ last March.
Was the only one I saw in 10 weeks in Oz and NZ!

The reason that you probably didn't see any Coupes in Australia is that there is only about 15 in the country with most being in Sydney and Melbourne.
I am only aware of a 20vt in Brisbane and a 2OvNA in Noosa apart from my 16vt as the only Coupes in Queensland.
On the weekend of 21-22 January, one would expect to see about 5 Coupes in Bathurst at the Annual social/competition weekend of the combined Fiat Car Clubs in Australia. Part of the Mt Panorama circuit will be used for the hillclimb.

I have what I believe to be the only Coupe in Tasmania, though a friend of mine (in the local Italian car club) claims there's one in Devonport, just up the road.
As far as I know mine's one of only two Pluses in the country, the other one being owned by Tony, the only guy in Oz to be able to comply the Coupe. He also imported another 3 I think, and there are a few personal imports in Melbourne.
I know of a bloke in Melbourne (Damon Earwaker) who has two Coupes, one he races and the other for a drive car.

I have 2 job offers which are in different parts of the country, but im hoping to be heading for brisbane, i have had the coupe for 2 years although i know its mechanically sound the mileage is at just over 100k and the cost to import isnt really cost effective, so i think ill have to visit your club and stare in ore at your members motors!

I'm coupe-less in Christchurch for Chrimbo. ![sick \:s](/forum/images/graemlins/default/sick.gif) If anyone spots a black 328 E36 Alpina or a white Toyota Highlander waving frantically at them, it's moi! ![bye](/forum/images/graemlins/default/byebye.gif)

Could've been a 20VT rather than a Plus ... spotted another one this afternoon but in Blitz Blue ![laugh \:D](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) {should really mention it was a post-Emirates experience}. There's also a few on Trade Me at the mo going for top money.

Well, I just brought what I think is the 20th Coupé into Oz from the UK and very happy to have it here. Any time I get homesick, I just sit in her, close my eyes, and I could be right back on the M25 again!
A big thank you also to Graeme at FCCQ for helping me out with so many things over here, I'm looking forward to joining the club and enjoying my Coupé for another 10 years or more .... she certainly doesn't miss the snow and ice; no more frozen handbrake, no more pooring hot water on the doorlocks, and no more snow falling into the car when I open the door, bonnet, boot etc. ... The only downside is that I might get a slightly more dangerous variety of spider living in the wing mirror now ;o)

What model is that Robski? Any photos? I have a bit of a register going and currently have 19 confirmed Oz Coupes, but there may be one or two more. If yours is recently imported it would indeed be the 20th known car.

Graeme, do you happen to know if it has been registered for road use, or is it purely a track car?

Yes, I knew it was Marc's car, but I was told that it is one that he had just bought in as, you know, he brings in all sorts of auto bits etc, including some interesting cars, over the years.
Antony, I assume it is only for track use as the plates are not NSW.

It's a 20VT Wazza (sorry for delay in replying).
I'm about to embark on a complete respray (she's a lovely salmon pink currently and the lacquer coat flaking nicely). Getting her back to proper Rosso Red will be awesome, and a layer of UV topcoat should keep that Aussie sun at bay for a while. Had the piston heads done in the UK (including 2 broken pistons replaced!) so engine sounding sweet now.
Might have to start scouring those UK scrap yards and get a line of spares stacked up in the garage over here though!

Next up - January 2012 Australian Fiat Nationals. How many Coupes will turn up? Not mine as I will be recovering from surgery and don't think I will be up for the 3,500 km round trip. However, I would expect to see a few from Sydney heading south. If all goes to plan, Queensland could be hosting the 2013 event so all the "Mexicans" will come north to God's country.

In NZ taupo might be the most lightly place to spot a coupe I have two mates and between them the own 7 although only 2 are road registered at this time I managed to prise the parts car off them so I have one and all things going ok should be road leagle in the new year and there is another ink black that they sold to another mate.

Hi Gerry. I came across a coupe 16vt red in a driveway while i was at the rugby world cup in 2011 somewhere below Taupo.
We stopped and knocked on his door,nice old fella with loads of alfa's etc. He said his mate down the road had a track coupe.

Hi from sunny Dunedin NZ. I just bought a 95 16v. Drove it all the way from Nelson with no issues. Runs like an absolute dream.

I always see a parked up Blue 16vt outside of a bodyshop near Mt Wellington, Auckland in New Zealand. Think it's been there for the last year at least. Also spotted a Scotts Green 20vt down in New Plymouth a few months ago.
