Retro Rich

Welcome to the forum. These are beautiful motors as many owners will testify. Having owned two myself, I feel qualified to make that judgement. You are in the right place for all advice concerning maintenance and looking after this lovely car. People that turn their noses up at the age of a car are those that secretly realise their own rubbish cars will never mature. The coupe is like a fine wine, that if looked after grows better with age. Look after it, be proud and enjoy it!

Very nice example from what we can see 👌

Thanks for bumping this for me Stu. Felt numb about it all weekend. It was a heartbreaking choice, but the buyer could see that. He looked the car over and could see how good it was. He didn’t haggle me on the price, so I’m sure it’s gone to a good home. Hopefully, he’ll join the forum soon.

Very telling concerning the quality of the shuttle isn’t it 👌

A very fair point indeed! 🤣😂

What Stu said. Have a soft spot for these. If I had time, space (or a lottery win) I’d keep all my cars and make Honda additions 👌

Perhaps not using indicators gives an extra couple of miles of range 🤣

He did Honda proud did ole Joe….

Probably all down to cost of living. Everyone is having to tighten their belts. There is no way I would purchase an electric car in the foreseeable or distant future.

You’ve saved many coupes and kept many members existing car’s happy, so don’t be too disappointed. 👍

The battery was from the battery group online supplier. Just ordered it and two days later it arrived. Well packaged and fitted great. As for the brackets, as far as I know they’re original, unless Stu swapped them out at some point 🤣

A job for a warmer day 👌

After a handful of battery charges on Bluey over the last 12 months, I decided it was high time to change the battery. After gawking at the inflated original Honda battery prices, I decided to follow Stu’s advice and order an aftermarket one he recommended. I’m always happy to just order stuff he recommends as it always fits properly and works perfectly. Some pictures below. I also took the opportunity to get leaves and debris out from around the air filter. It was a damp day, so I stopped short of using wax seal for fear of sealing moisture in.

Thank you. That last sentence does keep going over in my mind. I definitely won’t find another one like this. It would need to be the right price before I let it go. Looking at Autotrader and online, they’re really not worth a lot, so it’s very sad. People don’t realise what high quality motors they are.

Thank you for your kindness. It may come to that yet. I have the Triumph to sell if the V6 doesn’t provoke the desired interest. I hate doing this, but there’s just too many cars 😢
