Hello all

I've just bought a Vx Coupe 1985 on a B :). Previously owned by TNI Motorsport in Sevenoaks Kent. Bodywork is cosmetically challenged with back panel rusted through as are the doors, otherwise not too bad, just general scruffiness. A couple of questions :

1) Anyone known of this car reg B272 XYL ?

2) How many Vx Coupes are currently thought or known to be running in the UK?

whereabouts are you? you could be in my neck of the woods (junction 8). I believe 250 vx coupes were in the uk originally. i would guess maybe half that survive?

FYI, you can turn that off in your profile. Not sure which option but it should be the "BBCode" or "Smilies" option.

VX Coupes - 150 VX HPE - 186 according to Brian Longs' book which seems pretty accurate on everything Beta. I'd hazard a guess at around 150 of all VX types still on the road in the UK but that could be optimistic :?:
But, WELL DONE MICHAEL and welcome to the madhouse..... :P
