FS 1997 Vitesse Coupe

Post by hickmick » Sat Jan 02, 2021 12:57 pm

I've owned this car since 2001 and over the last few years have spent quite a lot of money on it, Unfortunately it is time for me to sell it on. It has been off the road with failed brakes, since April, I believe it is the master cylinder and I have a second-hand spare.
The car has done less than 80,000 miles, is bright red but has some rust in the rear arches. The sills have been replaced but not a very good job done, so I have another pair waiting to be fitted,
Head gasket was replaced about 18 months ago and the car has only done about 500 miles since.
It really wouldn't take much to get her up and running again, but it's just not going to happen and it would be better for someone else to take it on,
I live in the New Forest and the car would need to be trailered away.
If anyone is genuinely interested I can take some pics and if you PM me I will provide a phone number so I can give you the full low down and we can discuss money.
Happy New Year
Mike

Sounds like it's the right colour for you to have a pair of turbo coupes Scott! :wink: :D

That looks easily restorable. That'll be a bargain for somebody.

It really is time to move this on. I'm not in a position to do what is necessary to get her up to spec and I want the space back on my drive.
I want the car to go to someone whom is an enthusiast and have no interest in ebay, time wasters etc.
I fitted a new battery earlier this year, so I could start and move the car to let builders access to the space it was occupying, I have the replacement sills, replacement steel coolant pipe and the secondhand master cylinder. The first person to offer me £300 and can collect from my home near Southampton (you'll need a trailer)it's yours.

Shame you have to move it on Mike, give it a couple of weeks as Scott showed some interest before and he may still be interested. However i know his work takes him offshore with little or no comms so he may not see your latest post for a while.
Cheers,
Dave

Of course Dave, it's a shame, but I have to be realistic. I won't be doing anything in a hurry.
I spotted a red Sterling Coupe on an old Doc Martin episode on Friday, still a great looking car.

The Coupe has timless styling IMHO Mick, just seen Scott on another thread so pointed him this way, in all honesty i don't know how interested he is but maybe if he does have a genuine interest it will work well for both of you. :wink: :D
