Bought an le couple of weeks ago not drove it much until tonight and I’d forgot how good these cars are to drive, it’s my 6th (2nd le) but I sold my last one about 5 years ago, I’ve owned escort cosworths, a 996 c4s and a few old escorts but I keep being pulled back to Coupe’s, I may have to up the power a little bit but nothing drastic, that is all just wanted to share my story

Top Notch,

Great news - we need to hear more on how things progress.

There is something unique about the Coops- that most drives don't "get" and sadly miss out on.

You clearly have the bug!

Regards

MM

I too have the same problem(coupe addiction smile )

I have a 20VT for almost 10 years, and a year ago i bought a second one (20VT Plus), so now i have 2 laugh

My friends don´t understand why i have 2 cars almost equal, but the reason i have 2, is the pleasure i have driving the Coupe.
For me it´s really a pleasure drive the Coupe, att all time and speeds.
It´s excelent in town at low speeds because of the torque it as, you can almost stop in fifth gear and go again with no problem, it as excelent brakes, it´s confortable, it´s relatively small, it as a decent boot, you can have 4 adults, and his different from every other car on the road (and the coupe as been bulletproof, so reliable)

So know i have one for driving during the week, and another one special love for the weekends.

Like you say on your signature, better push a Coupe than drive an Vauxhall (Opel in my country)

When I lived in Spain I had a 16vt broom yellow it was 4 years old I loved that car but I didn’t know much about them then, quite rare over there (south) I’ve also had a 20v na but the 20vt is such an underrated car

Which number is it Matt?

It’s be good to update the LE register, you may be able to trace its previous owners.

Is it standard or modified?

Enjoy your ‘new’ Coupe!
