spiney_norman Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Just a quick ad to gauge response, but my Dad's considering selling his Royale coupe, allegedly the last Royale ever made. It's a 3.0 injection with a 3 speed autobox, series 2 Monza style interior (beige velour, not the darker GSE stuff) and it's Carnelian Red. Interior's mint, the rest of the car's definitely good enough to show but would need a few bits and pieces to make it concours. As far as we know it's never been welded, it's totally original except the modern CD player and the tailgate badge (we were told by a previous owner that being such a late car, '82, it came from the factory with an Opel blitz badge on the tailgate just to fill the holes!). Comes with dealer fitted air con, as the first owner ordered it with factory fitted air con but it turned up at the dealer's without so was fitted later. I used this as my daily driver for a few months and apart from a few red faces caused by an inaccurate petrol gauge it was reliable and generally as it should be. SORNd at the moment, been off road about 6 months. No tax or MOT but can't see any reason it wouldn't get another MOT easily. Only pictures I have right now are from Coleford last year, but here they are anyway, and I'll chuck some more on as soon as possible: Anyone interested at around the £2k mark?

Yeah, 3.0 injection engine's much more economical than the old 2.8 carbed ones were! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
