Hey,
Well I've searched for ages to find a reasonably low mileage 220 coupe and am having no luck at all
I missed out on TTRW's coupe twice and this for me would have been my dream car as it looked to be pretty close to immaculate from the pictures.
Does anyone fancy selling a 220 coupe T or know of any that are in 'subjectively' very good condition? I did try and convince agw to sell me one of his cars but he was having none of it!
I miss my old coupe but she's done too many miles to buy her back and she spits driveshafts out.
Thanks

Tim61 is selling one with a forged engine but needs a body refresh, the price though is more than reasonable!

Re shell it then, pistons would be £500+ alone!

Very true
Was hoping for a semi low mileage example that was fairly standard. I don't like modified bumpers, or batwing spoilers either!
My old one was high mileage for its first year of use at 135k! I think you ought be selling your fdh really mate

I don't think it would make it to cornwall leaking that much oil? Will do some research!
