History: This car was manufactured in 1999 and with one previous owner and i bought it in 2005 with 55k on the clock as a standard Monaco Blue Coupe from Newport South Wales for a total of £2600. Since then its gone through many changes as i will explain in the next few posts. The car is always covered / garaged and engine is on 69k at current!

cheers guys

it did look good white but i wanted to go a different direction. Worst thing is im getting bored of the Coupes seen as ive had it for 6 yrs now so may sell up in the new year to get a diesel. Just hard to part with it as its part of the family now.
