Three years ago, there was a spotless, all original red coupe for sale
about a mile from me. The guy was asking $3000.
He didn't get it. He ended up keeping it and finding relief for his
financial troubles elsewhere. I didn't have the extra money and I'm not
a coupe fan. It was an incredible deal though.

Hey Rock - you don't know what you are missing!
The coupe is a civilised car that you can drive all day on long trips in
relative comfort, while you friends in the roadsters get beat to ratsh_t after
the novelty of the first hour or so wears off.
We've done 600 miles in a day and went out and partied that night while our
roadster buddies collapsed in bed!
My Mk 2 is slowly coming along - new pictures at the bottom of this page:

I decided to actually use that oddball Lucas mega-coil we were discussing
earlier - last pic on that page.
The only non-stock item is the spin-on filter which makes the correct frame
mounted coil location impossible, but I'm damned if I want to grovel around
under the car every time I want to change a filter, to make sure the O ring is
seated etc. Spin ons are SO much easier!
