Coupe coming to Brisbane

This gorgeous Type A Coupe is on its way to Brisbane. Look for it at meet shortly, unfortunately it won't be here in time for the Nat meet at Caloundra.

26K + landing and compliance maybe 30 K all up. So low mileage.

Nice! I'd have bought one of these in preference to the convertible if they had been available.
(I'd delete the masking around the headlights/taillights)
I wonder how many they could have sold.

I'd say a bit more than that as someone has to make a margin on it (Compliance is owned by MX5....?)
Plus the govt will want their share in import duties.

Those SE wheels look quite good on the car. Gives it a Ferarri feel.

It also looks better without the headlight masking.
