Just thought i'd introduce myself....so.... hi! She's a lovely little machine with 58 on the clock,excellent nick including the paint work . Anyway i look forward to taking advantage of some very knowledgable souls as far as improving her will go. Will post up some pics etc if anybody's interested. To the coupe! Jon

Jon As easy as this but ignore the non rolling membership year remark. The website is being updated to reflect the changes in the club organisation. 16VT and X1/9 1500 + e208 Peugeot We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using. I even unplugged my own.

jas_racing Unregistered J	My Uno Turbo turned out to have been a write-off due to a heavy front-ender but I only found out 2 or 3 years after I bought her...however, she was solid as a rock and my father-in-law, who owned/ran his own bodyshop at the time, commented how well it had been repaired, and not to worry at all. If your Coupe is the same you've got nothing to worry about
