1st 13" wheel coupe with 1293 turbo engine

Thats the second coupe thats been advertised at a price above the "norm" of the last few years
Does this mean that they are getting more accepted as a Great car/good buy?
Or are there less and less of them around now ?
Either way the price of Coupe's are on the up it must be good news

I wonder then, why my chassis number is 86B And Jan '83....

Mine's got the rippling over the o/s wheelarch too. And everywhere else apart from the frunk and the fuel tank it seems identical (In a helluva lot tidier way) to mine.

It seems logical to me that it's in such nice condition that the owner thinks it is worth the money - not necessarily that Coupes as a whole are going up in price.

Supply and demand as usual.

We'll soon see if it sells.

Stuart, I think it must be the turbo that puts the price up!

Nice example though. (Even in red )

Thats very tidy, I'd say if he only spent £6000 he was doing well, interesting rear brake system and handbrake.

reckon thats a reasonable price myself, looks a nice tidy example, and non q as well has to be worth a little bit more.

Especially when you see robin hoods going for 3k in the kit car mags and some of those look ropey,

Reading the thread...what would you consider the 'norm' price to pay for a reasonable coupe?

When I put my Coupe up for sale at £4000 Ian Stent, the editor of CKC, reckoned that although the car was worth it £4000 was at the top end of Coupe prices. Having no basis for comparison myself I took his word.

When I bought my K series Coupe I paid £3000 I think and a week later, I was told that it was worth £7500 by GTM     ...
I      'ed.
I have checked 2 of the Coupes I have and one of them is 70c oct 82 13"Wheel.... and the other is 27c 81 13"?????????So is the ebay seller correct???
I'm pretty sure that the prefix "c" //"b" indicates the spec that the kit was sold to the customer. B spec = non rolling C spec = rolling ect.  or trimed ect.
Or somthing along those lines. I'm sure I have read on a bill of sale I have somwhere.

Ive seen chassis plates with XXXA and XXXB

from what i could work out the differences between these two where suspension one had the old A arm supplied the B spec kit, also the B was stone enamled, but that is only two examples i know of so those options may have absolutly nothing to do with the the Suffix letter.

I'll dig it out for you tomorrow, if I can find it by then
