So in the spirit of getting my post count up, so I can actually respond to folks etc. I thought I'd post this. I've had two Coupes in the past when I was up in Aberdeen (MattB are you still a Coupe owner?), A Ink Black NA, then a Chrono Grey LE, sold when I moved South again. So now life is a little calmer I'm out looking for an absolutely stock standard 20V Turbo, so I thought I'd dig out my old stuff. Found the box, CD's of the Fiat Eper, Manuals, Discs full of old photos including some crackers from a Stonehaven meet from many years ago. Although I unloaded most of my collection of ephemera a few years back, I still have brochures and other stuff that escaped being cleared out. Reading back through all the threads, good to see there are still many of the same names from back then, also a lot easier now that most of the stuff on CD is online! smile

Doing fine thanks. I still have all the bits to make a full car, but unfortunately it's not been complete or run for I think 8years now. frown One day.

Che, I tripped over the hard copy coupe manuals you donated to me when you moved away from Aberdeen the other day. I dont know if you want to organise getting them back?

Also, would be good to see some of the photos from old meets if you were able to host them somewhere?

Matt, I did find these the other day from Cairn O Mount. I think we had a stop off at Potarch for lunch.

Hey Matt, funny enough, I was going to message you as I have a bunch from Stonehaven and some from Duthie Park, ping me your email and I'll send you what I have, it doesnt seem easy to add photos here and as one includes you being kissed by a certain young lady I thought you might want approval first smile

The manuals would certainly be much appreciated Matt, I'll PM you.

I wouldn't say my coupe is being restored, more like I'm hoping one evening some elves break into my garage and fix it for me. Otherwise, another few years down the line I might get to it....

I'm fine with posting whatever photos. Truth be told it'll be more surprising to see I might still have some hair in some of them....

Looks like the buyer paid £5184 including premium.

I'd say that looks a very nice car for that price.

Hope it went to a forum member?

Re: Benefits of things advancing - 08/11/2021 16:14

At that price I'd have bought it back! love

That's always been one of my favourites, years ago down in Devon I saw one with the Reg LE 20 VT, that was sheer class!

I think Mike still owns that Chrono, went up for sale last year but didn't sell.
