Most coops owned

Can't recall if we've had a similar thread in the past, but by the now the number of most coops owned must have gone up!

Prompted by a post less than a hour ago (you know who you are ) I could think of 3 folk who might be in the running

patch234
samsite999
starvin2047

So to be clear only people who were on the V5 would qualify.....

I think chrissy holds the record for the most Coupés owned, pretty sure he's 20+

silver 20v
red 20v
red 16vt
inky 20vt
BumbleBee
silver 16vt
yellow 20vt
Porto 20v
Porto 20v

Inky 1.8 16V LHD
Silver 20VT
Black Plus
Wine Red 20VT
Silver LE
Green 16V
Silver 20VT
Yellow 20VT
Red Plus
Wine Red 20VT
Crono LE
Silver 20VT
Blue Plus
Blue VIS
Wine red 20V (the missing one) gave to my dad

I am sure there is one missing.... But 13 (Edit 14) (Edit again 15) is enough and there will be no more. Sam you missed one, the yellow 20VT

If you add to this the most coupe's cleaned and detailed. I must be around 50+

I forgot about that one!

Porto NA
Wine red VIS

My calculations tell me this amounts to 2.

only 7 here

red 16vt
wine 20v
red 16vt
ink black 20v
porto 20vt
silver 20v
silver 20vt (current)

Maybe a question is what was your favourite?

A mere two-and-two-halves, but I *do* tend to keep them a long time...

Lolz only 3 and a half here too

Nice one....the thread is yet young and edit-able!

Only 2 here, both 20vt's.

Never intended to buy another after all the ups and downs of the first one, but seeing the prices at rock bottom a few years ago tempted me back.

Just the 4 for me.

Red 20VT
Green 20VT
Black LE
Silver VIS

Sprint blue 20vt
Blitz blue 16vt
Green 20v na
Wine red 20vt
Green 20v na
Speed Red 20vt

Think that's all of mine so 6

Edit 20vt green so 7

you don't fancy a 16VT or 1.8 then patch, to have completed the full deck?

I’ve had one, the same one I bought in 2007.

Reading this thread I feel like I’ve missed out on the spice of Coupe life!

Hold on, it's 15. My first was a 1.8 inky that was left hand drive but UK registered. My first coupe :))) Awwww

Got a pic of it here somewhere ... I will edit first post, looks like it was 15 not 14

Sorry this was reply to above question ....

Only the one for fifteen years this month.
Though I did rent three through BudgetCar before that - coupe as a hire car, what were they thinking?

I think we need to know the most Coupes owned in total, and most owned at any one time?

For me it's just two, but I've been around a long time...

Sprinty 20VT
Sprinty 20VT
Rosso Plus
Blue Plus

I still own the blue plus. I bought it 2 years ago put it in the garage and I haven't looked at it since (under a cover)

Maybe I need to get it out next year and get it running or flog it.

16 na inky
20 na inky
20 na blue
20 vt inky

....bit of a theme with my cars....!!! 4 in total.
16 na died, first 20 na trading in for blue 20 one, blue 20 was rolled into a field, current car for a few years now is my 20vt now on 150k miles....!!!

Discussion for another thread, yes Dave

I know someone who at last count had 5 sitting in a barn!

Mostly burgundy

20vt Bordeaux, Track car still owned

20 vt silver (my parts car) still owned

20 vt scots green( sold)

20 vt lhd red (sold) I just could not get on with the odd differences in Rhd/lhd.

20vt silver Le ( shiftys write off coupe parts now sold and used )

I have 2 and 1/2.

1. Yellow 1997 20vt from new.

2. Electric Blue Plus 2000 owned for about 3 years now.

3. Porto 20vt for spares.

I have been tempted to buy more, but resisted and bought other cars instead!

I just have 2.

One daily drive (97 20VT) and one for the weekends(2000 2OVT PLUS).

1) Sprint Blue 20vt.
2) Porto Blue 20vt
3) Silver 16vt.
4) Blitz Blue 16v NA
5) Broom Yellow 20v VIS (daily driver)
6) Rosso Red 20vt LE for spares
7) Scotts Green 20vt (track use mainly)

Had 5 & 7 together for several years.

Now coopless bar a black 20v NA tucked away somewhere.

So 8 in total!

I'm astonished by the amount of forgetfulness this thread has unearthed

I had a green painted Matte black (not by me) 20vt

Silver 20vt

Porto 20vt
I now have none ...😭

Just the two for me also:

Silver 20vt
Yellow 16v n/a (current)

3 for me a 20vt vt6 and a le at the same time but have owned another 3 before hand

Simon, how does 2 and 2 halves come to 5, even counting halves as one? Enquiring minds want to know!

After listening to an interview from a proponent of the Flat Earth Society on R5L I'm reviewing anything!

Oddly enough, it's not *that* difficult to plan an orbit around a flat planet. Those satnav satellites don't prove a thing.

Chrissy would feature very high up on this list too.

Make that 4 lol

I wonder if that list is still valid? And how about most Coupes owned at any one time?

Ooh you're one of quiet ones

Judging by his Facebook account, I think it would be hard not to notice that he has a new coupe

Well that must mean most of the world and his dog knows about it

Not me or my dog. Chris we need pics.

I had all 4 of mine for a very short time indeed. Very short - was better than the divorce that would have ensued!!!

Not including Coupes I've bought purely to sell on (ie I was never on the logbook), I've only had four:

Dark Metallic red 20VT
Sprint Blue 20VT
Moon Grey 20VT Plus
Broom Yellow 16v

If we include Coupes I've bought, done some work, then sold on, it probably increases to 10 or 12 (some of them done jointly with Paul at Motormech)

I have bought 2, that i still have:

12/1997 20VT with 120.000kms
08/2000 20VT Plus with 57500 kms

The 20VT it´s my daily drive for 12 years, that works like a swiss watch. The only time it didnt work, it was because of a dead battery.
