Title: old VW cars - where are they now
Post by: jjdr108 on 28 May 2006, 17:56

I have no doubt this has been raised before - is there any way I can find out if my old mk1 GTI is still alive?
EGC 793X - white - 1.6 - I miss her ;-)

The only place I remember looking for this kind of thing is here --> http://www.rac.co.uk/web/carbuying/vehicle_data_search/ When I put my registration in it works, when I do your mk1 it doesn't,  :sad: so it may well have gone to the big Golf heaven in the sky.  :cry:

Yeah my first one RWC 792W, what happened to that? I owned that back in 1988!!!!! Still haven't forgotten the registration of my very first mk1 Golf GTI :cool:

Doesn't mean that it's dead. My Mk1 is alive and kicking, but fails to register on that site. I think some of the old cars that didn't change hands over a period of time have skipped that database.
So they may well still be out there!

You could see if you can find it on the registers at http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk

Or ask in their forums.
