It's a very clean and tidy example but for 8K i'd be looking for a small light MKII GTI.

Thom

That's does ring bells!  Is it the same one?....

Reconditioned engine or not that mileage is a sh*t load for an 8k car... it must be perfect everywhere!

As said, not the most desirable colour or spec for a mk1

Oh and why bother comparing a mk5 to this for the money, its no comparison.  :rolleyes:

I didn't make a profit, it just had to go when circumstances forced me to....  It was the right car at the wrong time.  :sad:

Oh and if I had the money when this was for sale I would have snapped it up without giving it any thought at all!... It went for insane money though.

the one lady owner had it from 75-2002 and only did 17,750 miles in it...

when I spoke to the owner at stoner he said that it wasn't a pleasure to drive as he was more a guardian than an owner and it was too precious to do anything other than drive it to shows

^^ from where?... I sold it when I left home.  :sad:
