Just checked the reg. Its not insured so it's either been scrapped or is sitting in a shed somewhere.

last change of keeper on 07/04/2007 and no scrap marker against it so still somewhere unless it was stripped and just the shell weighed in as with out an engine in the car doesnt require an end of life certificate

Hi there and congratulations, this was and still is the best 8v I have ever owned, for your info I bought this around mid 90's from a bloke who had owned it from new from memory lived in Sheffield at Totley who was in his late 40s so no boy racer :grin:, it had 96,000 on the clock and had full Vw service history, was a minter, I robbed it for just under £1600 back then, I then sold it 6/12 months on for over £3k to a guy in Doncaster who bought it for his daughter..
The car was completely original, paintwork was perfect, nice interior....
Would be nice to see some upto date photos of her...
Enjoy her...
Thanks
Russ

my brother bought it about 6 years back from a guy in sheffield... then my dad had it and i was promised it for my 21st birthday :D its been sat in my back garden for about 18 months while i found original bits and bond for her and re-painted/de-rusted the wheel arches and sills, had her mot'd last month just before my birthday, straight through! quite pleased with it so far!

i did spend quite a while polishing her aswel ha

what wheels did she used to have?

thanks

I thnk the wheels that are currently on the car are from a 16v, if my memory serves me right....

Title: Re: Anyone own this 8v Gti????
Post by: roy5695 on 08 September 2011, 16:06

i thought the 16v came with 15" wheels? but i don't know much ha I'm looking at some bbs ra's for winter wheels and to get the bottle tops refurbished.  i live in doncaster but in the navy so work away! so far she's coping with the miles! so all is good,

i could pop by one weekend I'm home if you want to see her again

Title: Re: Anyone own this 8v Gti????
Post by: walchy01 on 08 September 2011, 18:11

Don't take my word for it on the wheels cos I don't know much either :embarassed:
If you around in Sheffield message me be good to see her again 15 years on :wink:
But you sound like a busy man if your in the navy... Plenty of travelling thou.. Enjoy it..
I have a photo somewhere of it, if I find it I will post it you... Pm u first for address obviously...

All the best
