A mate swung by with a car he's been preparing for someone:
It's being shaken down this week:

Makes all the right noises and goes well. Proper sleeper, too given the current exhaust and the ABF under the bonnet.

Looks quite neat tbh!

Different.
-
damn, 2 door jetta... rare in this country!
-
What's the score with the German reg? Just come over and staying or is it going back home?
OR... is it some kind of private english/irish plate and i'm just being stupid?

Shame it's multicoloured! A friend of mine has a '87 Jetta GTX. 1.8 16V with a digi dash, lowered on ATS cups.

It's left hand drive, so must be a German car.
Did the 2 door jetta ever make it to the UK ? Only ever seen American or European examples.
Nice sleeper.

Not necessarily, they were only available in LHD
-
I think the number plate is a dead givaway. German, or yet to be officially imported.
-
It's a German registration, not numpty German-look plates.
The car has been bought over here, to be built up with the ABF, now it is heading back to Germany.
You can tell if someone's bought a German car into the UK and is taking advantage - the German plates have their expiry date on them, this covers insurance and TUV. Standard plates last two years IIRC. If they're 'export' plates they're only valid 2-3 weeks. I saw someone driving around with German export plates on a camper in 2007. The plates had expired in 2005. Now that's more than taking advantage!

Mmmm 2 door jetta. A case where rare can be used with rare justification. :grin:

No, except in exceptional circumstances.

No sharpie he wont fit an ABF in your MG!
If you buy a syncro and have plans for the nurburgring then you have more of a chance! :cool:

i will be buying a syncro some point this year and a car with abf to go in, but i want to do it myself but no doubt will need help from those who have done it before at various points along the way.
nurburgring again this year - could well be in the mg though :laugh:

Always like a Jetta coupe. A mate of a mate has two (one from Canada iirc) and there is Mike McCoys one from two or three years ago.
Jetta was also the first VW in the family, so always a soft spot :cool:

haha you know the trip would be too boring if all cars were running reliably.

I only just worked out what the other different thing is about that Jetta (was very tired when I looked first) it's got round headlights, not the normal rectangular Jetta lights.
IMO Jetta lights only look right on a Jetta, but i think the round Golf headlights suit it.
