    Part of it's legendary status for me, meant low bonnet line though the Coupe didn't seem to have that! Always seemed to work on it with long arms feeling well down around the axles line...

      Looks very nice.

      Ever fancied buying one and putting a 3.0 B6 in there?

        When I had mine, circa 1994, I seem to remember the total UK RHD Coupe being about 570, with 28 left by then, and I had two of them! I'd started contracting proper by then so I'm afraid they ended up scrapped - no time!!

        However, the reason I liked the Gamma Coupe is because it was a poor mans Ferrari 365GTB2+2/400/412/412i - much my favourite, far more of those about so might look at a shell for upgrade as I said above...

          Merc c250 cdi is the only choice. 0-62 7 seconds and average of 50mpg combined.

            This is my old jalopy Uriah:



            But if I were to replace him I'd probably go Jap.

            Something like a Lexus and the new Infinity looks nice.
