Anyone know this coupe ?

Post by italsi » Mon Dec 09, 2013 9:10 pm

In Manchester today and a red coupe pulled into the same car park as me (sorry didn't take a pic) usual tide mark around the bottom. But looked straight / flat paint and was being used - reg was DRB204K
Also may have finally found an Ital - only taken 2 years of looking, hopefully more details to follow..
All the best and Merry Christmas everyone...

Sounds like ORB 204K a nice early 71 coupe, good to hear it's still out there :thumbup:

Registered 1st August 71 but has a chassis number in the 9000 region so it's a J reg car really :lol: As far as I know it's the second oldest surviving 1.3 SDL coupe :thumbup:

Yes thinking about it. The reg was ORB. Sounded a nice old bus, just double checked where it was and it was seen in the Kearsley area of Bolton.
