    Hi everyone,

    About 2-3 years ago I owned a silver copen 1.3, reg SP57 TKT. Unfortunatly, the car had to go and I loved it dearly.

    I recently moved on to a yellow and black VX220 which I adore. But whilst out in my vx220 in Stirling the other day, I came across a silver copen like my old one.

    And it brought back so many great memories of my little car!

    So this is just hello, again, from an old member...

    Used to have a White Copen, but I sold it in 2023
    Hi :D
    We know the VX220 as Opel Speedster in Germany and I think its based on the Lotus Elise.
    How would you compare the two cars?

    Hi! yes this is correct based on the s2 elise.

    The vx220 is a lot quicker and handles absolutely fantastically well. But I don't believe the copen wasnt really set out for this market, the copen is a fantastic quirky car in its own way and a lot of people adore it I found when driving it. I do miss the electric roof function of the copen and the vx220 is a lot lower and harder to get into.

    I will defo have another copen in the future!! Love both cars but both very different :)
