I thought this might be a bit interesting and hopefully useful to some of the owners on here.

Earlier this year I completed a full 3D Scan of the first generation Copen to help with designing some parts for this car. I decided to clean up and align the scan to add it to my scanned car library, and decided to make the data available in case there were any creatives in this group who wanted to give it their own go on designing and creating parts for their cars, be it bodykits,...

I’m really sad to be thinking about selling my Copen (her name is Cubo). It’s a 2003 Silver Copen with a custom plate which spells out Copen. I also have a second silver Copen for spares n repairs.
I was thinking of selling both cars together, alongside the plate, to someone who will have the time and money to spend on Cubo, and is enthusiastic about Copens.

Please let me know if there’s any advice and what to do for this.

I absolutely love my Cubo, but I feel bad not being able...

We’ve finally moved to a house with a garage, so I’ll be able to keep any Copen we'll buy indoors. However, there aren’t many Copens for sale around the UK. Most of them are in poor condition, and even 1.3-liter models are rare. I found one 660cc Copen nearby that has been kept indoors for the past decade and also very very rarely driven. This makes me hesitant to buy it.

On the other hand, we’re planning to buy one and drive it to Europe this summer. For example, we could...

I've checked out all the obvious roof sensors. The little red light for open roof is not on but when i open the catches it comes on.
So I don't think that it's a roof thing.
Can anyone help me with which fuse does the windows?
I'm out in the country so i cant really check the workshop manuals and the in car manual basically days "Good luck with that. "

It's been a while since I've had a car that needs care.

I had a mechanic do a doublle pre purchase check for me.

He's of the same mind the wheel arches need attention but hasn't gone too far. He stated that getting this sorted and kept up, the chassis should give at least 10+ years.

I am wondering should I do all of it or just these areas?

I've attached the photos he took of the underside.

But also does anyone have any recommendations for the...
