Maybe, but I think I want it.

You'd be surprised what you can squeeze out of an 8v with the right cam, a well ported big valve head and the correct fuel/air setup.

cant see a problem with the price going by other MkIIs that have been up for 8k+

and the dogs that people are happy to pay 3k for. thats had a lot of work done to it

His biggest issue will be his location

You will struggle to see 165bhp, around 140bhp is closer to the mark.

Is the owner on drugs or what? It's a spitting image of my very first mk2 8v and that was worth a third of the price 10 years ago. Pisstaker.

Totally over priced  and i looked a shoddy job on the rear interior looks like a big gap on the rear seats
i didnt pay that much for my 20vt mk2 and that was built buy a vw spesialits mechanic reckon if they are atracting that much money i think it go up for sale lol

having said that though u can tune those 8v motors very well and that power is possible from them

I think asking 12k for a mk2 is dreaming.
But i guess the price is only what people are willing to pay  :lipsrsealed:
