Modern Classics

Don't think anyones's mentioned this yet, but next months issue of Modern Classics will feature a 'Best drivers cars for a grand' feature. Think this may be the first time they've covered the Coupe and it's tested against a GTV, Mazda RX8, Mondeo ST220, and Clio 182. On sale 4th January. I presume someone will know the Coupe featured, in Porto blue?

I'll see how the feature reads, but don't think I'd touch anything like that for a grand!

Got only limited cover compared to the other vehicles reviewed

Maybe cos it was one of my coupes being featured I missed the lack of coverage.

Thats what I thought - can you get anything reasonable/usable for a grand now?

Just shows how journalists never check their facts ........ With a strapline like that ... you'd check surely? Stupids :))

My first Porsche was only £995. It wasn’t in great condition, but it was enough to get me hooked. I sold it on for £1,000 after three months driving (and after it developed a leak from the petrol tank)!

Never judge a book by its cover

Early eighties I turned down a Ferrari Dino for five hundred quid...

OMG

My monthly salary at the time was about £300, and Dinos were just cheap red rusty Italian cars that had been thrashed...

Sorry OT, how's the porker going? Have you felt the connection a la Coupe yet?

Another half page mention in July modern classic "bag a fiat while you can" more positive words on our beloved coupes, I quote: usually it's a tricky game to spot the next rising star in the classics world, but this one is up there in widescreen with surround sound.

Loving that they keep mentioning it

Yes they do seem to have a bit of a soft spot for the Coupe.
