The 3 door hatch is a very rare thing now a friend of mine had a 220 GSI, I always fancied the turbo Coupe in Tahti blue but lots of people kept telling me the VVC was the better option as it was a better all rounder. I think I've missed the cheap turbo coupes now but then I'd still be happy with a BRM or another 25GTI You can get the coupe for reasonable money it's the turbo which is a little more difficult to find

I'd say that they are retro. jimbo200sx is building a Coupe Turbo with a twist right here

Driver broke both his legs & and some head injures but hes doing okay now. His wife and daughter had only scratches. He wasn't speeding, this is the result of two saxo boy racers with a 90mph impact

Mine, a NASP but still a Coupe. I'm fairly sure I saw your car this morning, or another one very similar driving into kingston.

Yep, that was me, usually use the bike but the Coupe's been off the road for 6 months and finally got it through it's MOT last week so making up for lost time. Also found my insurance policy allows me to use it for commuting, so you may see it on the odd Friday. What were you in ?

Genuinely couldn't find another for sale without rot/bits missing. Whilst I love it, the rarity does stop me modifying it (coilovers and stainless steel exhaust) and driving it as hard as I'd like.

I loved my Coupe Turbo - I ended up owning it 3 times as I always wanted it back!
