interesting to see two vx coupes emerge, are they on my list of vx coupes in the uk? If not I'd appreciate a message with the reg numbers/colour/ and if you wish to divulge also chassis and engine numbers. If you search the forums you will find that I have a very long term vx coupe resto, still not completed, so have pretty much seen it all. You will inevitably find more corrosion than initially seen, I found that the worst corrosion was at the front and rear of the sills, in the box members close to and around the strut towers plus the towers themselves. Some of this is due to areas where several layers of steel are together, not really a design fault as the cars weren't intended to last 30+ years but moisture traps that fester. mechanically they are strong and most parts can be found one way or another, although it is more challenging than owning an MG or an Alfa in this respect it kind of adds to the fun snapping up those elusive bits n bobs. The engines are good for over 100k but if they are approaching 80k or so the big end and main bearings will probably have significant wear and would probably benefit from changing in advance of any issues. Beta coupes still seem to be undervalued and as this surely cannot continue now must be a good time to restore one, I can't think where else you can buy such elegance coupled to a great drive train and excellent road manners for peanuts.
