Hello,

As you probably know, the 4star Coupe was £15k, but even at £12.5k it's still big money. Not too long ago £5k would have been considered top money, but prices do seem to be going up both here and abroad.

If I was paying that sort of money for a Coupe I'd want it to be in stunning condition. I haven't seen the car in question in the flesh, but I know someone who has (the President of the Coupe Club (GB)). He was surprised to see obvious corrosion and areas of filler, and concluded the car was over-priced.

However, there aren't many good Coupes left and few, if any, of those are for sale. I do know someone who has two Coupes and is thinking of selling one. It's pale metallic blue, automatic and apparently needs some bodywork. I know the car but haven't seen it for 2 or 3 years. I should see the owner at the show at Stanford Hall tomorrow so I'll ask him if he is selling and what he wants for it.

Last, but not least, I should say that parts are hard to find for Coupes. Not impossible if you're prepared to search hard, but a good reason to buy as good a car as you can find rather than trying to restore one. The upside is that you will own a very rare, stylish car that will attract a lot of interest.

If you want more info or a chat, feel free to email me (mailrc@hotmail.co.uk) or phone me (01608 663585).

Regards,

Richard

I'm looking at a 100 coupe s at 4starclassics on the bay. Big money but looks well. Anybody out there know the car..... Its very low original mileage and has had some paint work and usual bit of welding work. Any thoughts or advice?
Cheers
