RX Coupe

Post by RX Coupe » Mon Jun 16, 2008 9:17 pm

Hi all,

I'm new here to these forums. I currently own a rare in OZ 85 RX Turbo Coupe which i'm eventually going to do up.

The L series in the second photo was my old 93 wagon. I currently drive an 02 Outback.

I have owned the coupe for over a year now and haven't done anything to it but i'm trying to chase some spare panels and lights for it seeing they are rare. If anyone could help me with this it would be great.

Cheers,
Justin

Modular classics are what the wheels are called. Come in full polish finish when new.

Love the car.

looks nice, I was very tempted to buy that one when it popped up. at least its found someone who'll appreciate it.
Am I imagining things, or is it sitting lower than it used to?
and those wheels.......... noice.
on a useful note, what happened to the blue one that wound up in Vic. It got back ended tho', so may not be of any use to you even if it is still available.

Was told when i last checked (>18 months ago now) that they were no longer available, despite what the website says.

no matter now, no L in the family anymore

Hey all,

This coupe might be up for sale in the near future due to no longer being able to keep it where it is and no room for it at the current place due to getting a Brumby soon. I will post the details up when it is for sale.
