Hiya! I'm looking for a low mileage 1.3 Copen in excellent condition. I'm based in Shoreham, West Sussex, and am prepared to travel for the right car.
We have a 1.3 silver Copen for sale 39,000 miles. 3 owners 1st the dealer then my wife then myself when due to illness she had to give up her driving license. MOT till October 2022. Reg XY59 VBA. You can check on DVLA for MOT details. We live in Northumberland UK.
Thank you for the response. I used to own a 1.3, and remember how difficult it was to get a decent price for it. I ended up selling it back to the guy that I bought it from, for about 2/3 of the cost price. I replaced it with a stunning Z3. I now have a narrow garage that will only house a Copen or a Cappuccino, hence the need to get another Copen. I know they are susceptible to corrosion. Please can you tell me what condition your car is in, and how much you are looking for. I am in advanced discussions with a dealer who wants my stunning Z3, and also my beautiful MR2 in exchange for his Copen + cash. It would be convenient to let him have both of my cars without being pestered by a bunch of tyrekickers, but I am convinced that there are some pristine examples out there, and his is not one of them. I went on to the DVLA site, and XY59 VBA is not recognised ?!! Is yours garaged ?
Hello It should be YX59 VBA, my mistake I've just stuck it on Auto Trader 2009 Silver Daihatsu Copen 1.3 Roadster 2dr for sale for £3,850 in CHOPPINGTON, NORTHUMBERLAND (autotrader.co.uk) £3850 ono
It's been kept in a car port which is enclosed on all sides except the front. I've owned it since 2009. I bought it from a garage which was a Daihatsu dealership, back in the days when there were such things in the UK. It had one previous owner and was registered in the UK in 2007. The cloth seats are as I bought them. The only rust is a few tiny spots on the inside of the front wheel arches. I can send you pictures of this and anything else you'd like; just let me know
Delighted to say that I acquired one yesterday, and take delivery of it at the beginning of May. What an exciting prospect !
