	Looking for some suggestions, At work we are having a bit of a challenge to promote gas drinking big GT coupes. Unfortunately my collogues have already purchase a XJS and a 6 series BMW. So my question to you all what other big GT coupes(1980-1989) were released in the 80`s which can be currently purchased for under £1000 I am at a total loss! HELP

	Is this in the same class? 4.5 - 5.4 V8's certainly won't be economical - you can get a rough one for 1k.

	Is your work subsidising your fuel bills for this challenge? If so, can I work there?

If you are lucky it'll still have a brick car phone in there!
