Hi DMN8RX, thanks for posting up the pics!! Great to see another committed coupe owner on the forums!! Gotta love the Wild Plum, it looks great on the XB. I was eying this one on ebay (just dreaming, in no position to give my XC a playmate). Great purchase.

Looking at this one and the Lime Glaze XB GT owned by another forum member it just proves to me that the XA colour range was the coolest of all!! Why these were not continued into the XB range is beyond me!!

Gotta say the one with green one with the Continental roof is a standout, how rare is that!

I posted these in the "show us your GT" , but thought I should post them in the coupe page.Owned it 25 years, built 15 years ago . Purists hate it, but I built it the way I like it, may restore to original , when I get sick of the modified look.
