So, after a period of 3 months without a coupe, I now have another. Though not literally, put a deposit down on one whilst I returned to the UK for the xmas break

So what's it like this new car? I've no idea
Condition? I don't really know
Engine bay clean? I don't know
Tyres and wheels in good nick? I don't know
Interior? Didn't get to see it
Paintwork? No idea, but it's Ink black
Exhaust system? PowerItalia stainless
Carpets clean? I hope so!
History? Owned by two coupe specialists
Current location? Herefordshire
Mileage? Engine being rebuilt

As you can see, I have made an informed buying decision here, did the research, put in the miles humping (I mean traveling) up and down the country (not)

So why did I buy it? I saw some pictures via email and Joe at FCSS currently owns it Will be ready for Spa, the most important thing is that Mr FCSS has the car and is/will be doing it up for me!!

Nice! ..... Shame I'll only drive it for two weeks around June time Happy as Larry though (who's Larry? I've no idea)

Plus I should just be able to squeeze in a full days detailing on her before leaving for Spa too....can't wait for that

I see Joe's finally managed to offload this heap then?

He told me only Stevie Wonder would ever buy it

It's not that one of which only four springs remain, is it? The one with the see-through paintwork?

You twoooooooo, what are you's like!!!!!

The springs will be put on this one as will the new hose of death and my new wheels from Dan once they have decent rubber on them - Joe, that's the other thing that needs doing Add it to the list mate

first dibs on a bit of "patch car-love" if the opportunity arises Phil!

for my car you dirty boys, for my CAR

Lol - I'll let you know nearer June Steve. It's been a long time since I last gave yours a good polishing

that's two of us mate

Joe's old inky!
I had a feeling you would end up with it

Just could not be without one any longer Sam .... you know it makes sense

I'm being sensible Phil...for the time being!

I'm glad its gone to a good home, im interested to see the plans for this one, knowing you its something special!

Phil has a masterplan for this coupe. Export it to Azerbaijan,then convert it into a chicken coop ! boom tish aaahh.

Joe,
Are the chickens liking their new quarters?You've not said much about your second one down in rural France lately.

Saving up to take it apart Pete,so the chook's are safe for the time being.

You are clucking mad mate

Patch,
congratulations on your new coop (sorry Coupe). Good luck mate, and I know that Joe will put the correct mesh wire on to stop the horses escaping - oh bugger, too many allegories.. suffering from Post-Ashes Traumatic Stress. Going to get an early night. Good luck Phil...zzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ

Thanks Tim, like the pic Neil

You watch, he will turn this one in to a plus

Well done phil glad you got another coupe finally.look forward to spa now

Congratulations on your new Coupe Phil

Congratulations Phil, nice to see another inky locally again.

Does unfortunately mean I'll have to make more of an effort keeping mine clean - just on the off chance they end up next to each other in Morisons...

Thanks guy's

No Sam, I have been thinking about turning this one into 16V n/a actually

The plans will be to create a stealth coupe again (like the Plus I had) so will have the wheels powder-coated in sparkle black (17 or 18" as yet undecided) and add a PIU kit. I may go down the route of the new double exhaust rear bumper from AutoDs also. I am pondering this.

Power will be 300+ and this one will have a FMIC rather than the charge cooler as I had on the plus.

Basically that's it and then make it as pristine as possible throughout. Must keep this one - please remind me in 6 months time

You could do something that hasn't been done by members on this forum and totally max power it!

I'm talking gold painted rims, Ferrari badges, maybe a V8 badge on the boot, massive sound system, air vents on the bonnet, carbon fibre roof

Now imagine that turning up to the Fiat Coupe section at brooklands this year

Mmmmm, thinking out-loud about your next project Dunc?

Go ahead. I'm sure we can all bring a shovel and bury it.

....and a radio aerial (a LONG radio aerial)

There's one just like this on eBay at the moment

crazy geezer..

The mind boggles what patch will actually do..

There has never been a pink coop, has there now? Hmmmm

I like pink

careful, lashes might read this

Good on you patch, so glad you won't be in for a two-toner

Oh yea!

I detect jealousy my man.

No way can you t-t a black motor coupe even by sticking on a material top. You'd need to escape abroad or something.

Oh wait a minute.....

Two-tone has been done, moved on from that Other things planned for this one. Will be on a longer time scale though due to situation!

Daggers at dawn, eh? Just as well you're out of the country mate....
I suppose you have a garage, not like some of us slummers?
