I'm 5'11", Italo and I fitted fine in mine.

Thanks Arthur, great news for me........

I'm about that Italo and fitted into my little car.
You are aware of the history of Trap's car are you? It's based on a GRP replica of the original steel tub.

Just bought a 1985 Coupe in rough condition, picking it up this week. Don't know a thing about them but it'll be fun finding out.

You should create a build blog, I know that quite a few of us would follow your rebuild...

Lots of the pics missing, but are those K12 Micra headlights in the CG view? Have had my eye on those myself...

Have always thought the GTM quite cute but definitely needs more compact & elegant tail lights

[Flipatron]

Hopefully picking this up tomorrow

Vtec engines in the back are quiite a common mod on the Coupe.

As are a few other engines.






But practical as a shopping car , you can get about 5 shopping bags in the back and it keeps take aways warms as well.

Yes Italo. The all-glass Coupe is my work, for better or worse.

It was a nice little car but unfortunately, once I retired from the daily job, it was covering no mileage at all and it was too good a car to sit idle so I sold it to Trap. I believe it has now been sold again?
