Anonymous Unregistered A	Having recently bought an ink black turbo plus, it crossed my mind as to whether this motor along with limited editions, or any coop for that matter, would actually reach a point in time where the vaue started rising again. Am i being nieve/over optimistic?? I mean you can still find corrados fetching 7K, and motor mags always seem to label the coupe as a modern classic!! So why not???

I bought my coop for the buzz of driving it , not for it to be sat around gathering dust. I was just curious as to whether it might be sooner rather than later. I guess as time goes on and there are less and less coops on the road, then the value of any good condition ones remaining may start to increase.

Wouldn't part with it for less than (or..think I could probably get at least) £5k today......So mine's increased in value! In fact I don't think I could/would sell it for any price - so that makes it priceless!! Makes driving to work (almost) a pleasure.... (What could I afford to replace it with that would turn so many heads?)

A Chrono Plus grey could keep it company! KP, was JimO's old car the one with the Electric Blue one with cream seats with blue piping on the edge?? "Mighty MO"

Then again Rover SD1s are now sought after, especially the Vitesse Think Coupe will be the same. It will achieve classic sought after status way too late for us
