So, the long term project of improving my 1999 V6 Coupe begins.  I believe the colour to be Dark Amethyst Pearl, so Purple Peril it is.   Since picking it up yesterday I've driven about 350 miles (just back from picking up the refurbished wheels I bought to replace the really tatty ones) and had a real go through the service history. The car is really very together, everything works, handles and tracks correctly and the ride is good.  For a long distance cruiser it is superb. Obvi
