Electric Blue Plus "W" reg, 25,000 miles

"discussion thread"

Yes please.

Had the pleasure of seeing this coupe at Motormech on Saturday

Without a doubt the best coupe ive seen period! absolutely stunning and well worth the asking Price!

Looking forward to seeing this at Stanford. I know the mileage reflects the price but this is really the sort of money that these cars should be going for...

totally agree .

very nice looking car and what a colour

Price is spot on.

If only I had a double garage.

I have seen a few discussions about cars for sale on here, and have had to refrain from passing any comment.
There have been 3 cars I would have bought for the asking price without even thinking twice. This is one of them. Great colour, condition and low mileage. Needs an expansion tank. I think Nigel should keep it.

If only I had £7,500 to spare and I could get Mrs Pigman to look the other way.

Yup - I thought so too, but they aren't available new any more, and I thought about putting it through the dishwasher, but I remembered the rollocking last time I tried something similar......



Yup - I though about that too, but I'm not letting go of my Moonie - I enjoy the mad performance too much. I'm not letting go of my diesel Alfa, as I enjoy 50mpg too much. I tried to come up with some good reasons to justify a third Italian car and rapidly came to the conclusion that any deal would probably come with complementary divorce papers....

That would be my problem also, unless you wanted to take a Broom Yellow Plus and an Inky VT6 in P/Ex.

I looks too good if you ask me, worth every bit of what you're asking, and then some. But I just don't know what I'd do with it, I'd be gutted if I got to 30k in it or when an item fails that can't be replaced with OE.

I think what you have there is as close to a museum piece as most of us will ever see.

Good luck with the sale, I hope you find someone who will squirrel it away and only bring it out for the stands and magazines.

Always open to a discussion.....

If it was a yellow plus ....

Anyway, look forward to seeing at Stanford.

If it's a yellow Plus you're after.......we could start a chain......

If the car was an early LE I would place the value far higher, personally I don`t like the wheels.....
Joking aside. Parts availability has already become key to the maintaining of ultimate condition. The better the condition of the car the more crucial those odd unavailable parts become. `Disposed of` parts have clearly made their way into the stocks of traders, but as these organizations are run to make money those odd little parts one requires to do complete jobs were not considered worth saving.

And?

Just saying.....have been threatening to sell my Broom Yellow Plus for nearly a year now, but can't seem to bring myself to advertise it. Also have Inky VT6. Plan, this time last year was to run them side by side and see which one I wanted to keep. A year on and so far kept them both, but Motormech's Electric Blue Plus is tempting, so maybe I should sell my other Coupés.

So....if you desire a Broomy Plus....

The Cayman goes in September. I have to say the car I enjoyed most was the coupe and I am really, really tempted.

Whatever happened to carlt 's legendary heated seats side airbag plus, or was it a 20vt 6?

Electric blue looks very nice maybe if my numbers come up Friday....



And again, if my numbers come up Friday ill take it! Broom plus would be my perfect coupe.

Beautiful car and a great find! Someone should see the investment opportunity here!

I do Phil, but I'd find it hard to chop in my LE
I've spent too much and too long with this car to give it up now.
I see the long term potential of buying this car, but and it is a big BUT! I don't know if I'd be able to keep it completely standard. I'd be thinking, "it would be better if........."
I have seriously considered it though! Of course without mentioning it to the wife
And I'd have to change the shrine too, it is in LE colours and has LE pics

Beatutifull car,

as mentioned above if idd buy this my wife would devorce me for sure, specialy after all the money i threw out the window last year. But i find myself thinking if i wouldn't be better off with the blue plus and without the wife
I love them both

Aside of this mental thinking, practical it wouldn't be doable. i use the coupe for daily work drive and this car is in such a good shape that it would be a crime to do that much mile's in it.

If only i hade the room and money to just buy it and put it in my living room to just watch it and sit in it .... dreams off.......

Surely it is to be driven?

everyone needs a sensible Italian car and then another non-sensible Italian car

ying and yang- they balance out...

haha
ofcourse its made to be driven.
but i am militairy and when i go to work i have to badge in to open the gate. now i live in belgium where the wierd people drive on the right side of the road and where the driver side of the car is on the left. take a gues where the badgereader for the gate is at the base...

you guessed it on the left side.
Would take some serious gymnastics to crawl to the left of the car everytime i wanted to enter or leave the base.
beside my wife would kill me if idd buy a other car.
just a side note, small one

If only this hadn't been discovered for another 6 months....

After a couple of years absence, my family and I are looking to move house before the end of this year

The new house will have enough off road parking (preferably garage space) for three cars, which means we will be buying a 'special' car for weekends to complement the Range Rover (me) and 320d (wife) we use as daily drivers at the moment

If I was settled, I WOULD buy this car (cannot buy it now, it would have to sit on a very busy road when not in use)

I have been browsing Autotrader recently and I cannot find anything remotely special which has enough room in the back for my toddler and a big enough boot for buggy etc

The combination of performance and practicality is one of the reasons I kept my sprinty for over 10 years - I simply couldn't find anything I wanted to replace it with!

I will be watching with interest!

So - buy it now and I'll "look after" it for you for a few months....

Good shout Nigel, I'll be happy to share some of that load

Very nice car. Almost as nice as mine

Seems our estimation of firmer Coupe prices was correct - sold for the asking price - one very happy new Coupe owner

Damn it, would have paid £15k for that. If another comes up PM me.

I am now the new owner of this beautiful plus . It really is in pristine condition as Nigel said.

I will be going to auto italia this year as well for the first time, so you guys are more than welcome to come and have browse round this show stopper.

Good to see another Southern area Coupe, we're a bit thin on the ground round here.
I look forward to seeing her

Seriously mate 15k for a fiat coupe I carnt see it

very true, but id happily pay 8/9k for coupe plus or LE in perfect condition.

Yes maybe ? But that's a long way from 15k

Where in East Sussex are you Groundze20vt?

I'm in Seaford Richie, we have been talking on the phone a couple of times regarding valeting my coupè .

Seaford!!! Lol.... I'm in Newhaven!!!

Hazman, do you have a ink black plus by any chance?

That's me dude!!!

Awesome :-), I saw you the other coming into seaford from the buckle by pass dual carriageway. I was in my girlfriend's corsa. Will definitely have to meet sometime soon?

Meeting up sounds good mate!!! Be awesome to see your coupe!!! R u going to the meet Sunday?? Think there's a green coupe in Seaford aswell!!

Unfortunately not as I'm working :-(. Yes i believe there is. I've also seen 3 portifino blues, a steel grey, broom yellow, speed red and your ink black plus in seaford. Once I put the coupè on the road I'll let you know and we can meet up.

Yeah I saw the broom yellow in Newhaven by Travis Perkins but thought I was seeing thing's!! Lol. Definitely let me know when your good to go!!! Be good to meet another Coupe owner!!

You could always come and have a chat to the 10 of us at Paizza Itallia on Bank Holiday Monday in Horsham?
There is so much nice stuff to eat and oggle

I'm working on bank holiday Monday as well. Being a senior level chef sucks sometimes lol.

Blimey that's more than we get at a meet up here!
