Don't think anyones's mentioned this yet, but next months issue of Modern Classics will feature a 'Best drivers cars for a grand' feature. Think this may be the first time they've covered the Coupe and it's tested against a GTV, Mazda RX8, Mondeo ST220, and Clio 182. On sale 4th January. I presume someone will know the Coupe featured, in Porto blue?

I'll see how the feature reads, but don't think I'd touch anything like that for a grand!

Maybe cos it was one of my coupes being featured I missed the lack of coverage.

Thats what I thought - can you get anything reasonable/usable for a grand now?

My first Porsche was only £995. It wasn’t in great condition, but it was enough to get me hooked. I sold it on for £1,000 after three months driving (and after it developed a leak from the petrol tank)!

My monthly salary at the time was about £300, and Dinos were just cheap red rusty Italian cars that had been thrashed...

Another half page mention in July modern classic "bag a fiat while you can" more positive words on our beloved coupes, I quote: usually it's a tricky game to spot the next rising star in the classics world, but this one is up there in widescreen with surround sound.

Yes they do seem to have a bit of a soft spot for the Coupe.
