It most certainly is Dave, I had a chat with Simon to get some background on the car (as i am planning on adding a coupé to the driveway) but i have decided that the transport cost to get the car down to me added to the purchase price doesn't make sense. When i have found a couple of others that are in better overall condition and MOT'd which i could drive home.

Hmm, blue fastback, red coupe - just need a white saloon now! Good luck with your bid Rus!

Sad to see this languishing.

I bought this from a very nice man called Paul in Ewell, Surrey. I remember very clearly taking the train to collect it from his home. The car was very very nice to drive and worth every penny if the £325 I paid for it. The head gaskets and cambelts gad just been done - I think it was 2008 - and Paul had just got back from a French touring holiday where it performed effortlessly.

I smashed the screen accidentally when strimming too near to my gravel drive.

I hope someone buys this as it deserves to be under cover and re commissioned. All of the paintwork is original.

Brad do you recall if there was any history with the car? Having talked with Simon about the car it sounds as though mechanically its quite straight, i have to say that the amount of iron oxide in the photo's that Simon sent me, the potential for a lot more that can't be seen and the costs to transport south that's putting me off at the moment. With regard to 'undercover' not having a garage is a bit of an issue and having read a large number of your posts i know you lean toward the Coupe's being kept indoors. I could get a cover for it but it would always live outside .... until the planning officer gives in and lets me build a garage!

Depends what you want from a cover Rus but this one won't break the bank :

I don't recall having much in the way of paperwork when I bought the car apart from some recent receipts for the cooling system/head gasket/cambelts/water pump work undertaken by the seller a month or so before I bought it.

These Coupes definitely need to be kept 100% in a dry garage. Even leaving them outside under a cover is a no-no. And always park them level or with the nose higher than the tail so that any wetness drains off the back and doesn't collect near the rear window.

I hope whoever successfully bid £263 for this car will look after it.

I bottled out because of the transport costs to get it down south. So lets hope it appears on here at some in the near future.

Blimey. It was only in Wolverhampton! At such a low price, you could almost consider the car was free!

I really do hope this one survives. Not many are left that are totally original. Most have been repainted or welded or patched. This is a virgin, untouched car and needs someone to give it the care it deserves especially as I stored it in my heated garages for the 6 years up until selling it to Simon last Summer. Fingers crossed.
