 Re: My Coupe on E-bay Got an A-frame, that strangely is already set up for one of these.
A spare set of wheels/tyres and you'd be away.

Re: My Coupe on E-bay I suspect the poor thing has been full of water for 12 years - it won't just be the outside surfaces but also the internal surfaces. The chap said it will only take 3 weeks to get it all sorted out - think he's been watching too much "Pimp My Ride"  Seriously though - a car of this age would have issues as a daily runner, if it's been left to rot for 12 years you have to work on the basis that it will have to be cut apart and then everything that can decay will need replacing. If you look at it from the perspective of £175 for a new screen and set of body panels then it is cheap......... It's sad but if it keeps another Coupe on the road then that is at least something positive

Re: My Coupe on E-bay Apparently it has a V5 and he was going to put it back on the road............it's taken him 12 years to realise that it's not going to happen

Re: My Coupe on E-bay An Ideal Project car if you are willing to go for the full monty for a full bare chassis restore. If it is really bad deep thoughts need to be taken as hate to see it advertised again due to lost of interest, then it would be at risk of being broken and possibly lost.

West Partly why I've decided not to go with it - I simply do not have the time to recover it from such a poor condition

Re: My Coupe on E-bay Sorry Dave, I only saw this auction just after it had ended (early as I recall) last year.. can only suggest an email via eBay to the seller.. he/she might even pass your details on in case the new owner has had a change of circumstances.. you never know your luck!  Edit: Cancel that.. just read your other thread..

Re: My Coupe on E-bay Yes, I know the one in Stoke and where it lives/lived. Quite tidy apart from the wheelarch damage.
Dunno if it sold elsewhere. Next time i'm up that way i'll take a peek over his garden fence.

Re: My Coupe on E-bay That ad hasn't changed in over two years - but at that price there's nothing to say it has sold.
