Good afternoon Guys,
Need some questions answering:
I've heard through a mate that Oak Green is rare for a Mk2 Gti.. Is it true?
Also... Are rainbow interiors rare too?
I reckon he is spinning me a line..... :wink:
Cheers

I wouldnt say rare, more sought after or more desirable that others.
-
agreed. Neither are neccessarily rare but they are more sort after than say tornado red/pink paint.
-
If it's an e reg 8v in oak green with rainbow interior and small bumpers it would be a campaign. Worth about £3000 if in good condition.
Ps. I have just bought one from the other side of the country after searching for just over a year for one as my last one got written off by a nice old man who didn't know what his steering wheel and brakes were for, resulting in the back of my car being about 2 foot shorter than standard.

rainbow interiors are not rare in any sense, oak green aren't rare but are desirable. at one point they were fetching silly money but not any more. really nice though!
-
Insurance company gave me £2500 for mine last christmas and it was completely standard.
They said had it been an ordinary golf (not campaign) i would have got about £800

£3k... I've just fallen off my chair!!!!
It's a 5-door 8v with 70k on the clock.....
Really?
Thanks guys!

Why sound so shocked?
I said it's what they are worth but that doesn't mean anything really. Something is only worth what somebody will pay.

True, but it's nice to know that it's something special.
I bought her for £1200 Last year with full history etc. I wanted a run around after my gal wrote off my mint BMW 528 (shark nose one).
I fell in love with it after driving 3 or 4 16 valvers, liking the torque of the 8 valve.
-
liking the torque of the 8v...all the 16v's you drove then must have been scrappers
-
Surely '90 spec only colours will be the rarest, as they only run for 2 years ??
Like Royal Blue Metallic !! :wink:

No one was a very nice straight standard one...
The 8v just seemed to have more torque, i know in reality they don't.
The 16v didn't really do anything for me..... They ALL felt pony after my BMW.
But if i wanted another BMW i'd have bought one though, they are fun in the dry but F***ing dangerus in the wet!
I had the choice between 8v and 16v, insurance is no problem (27 Full no claims), I recon 8v's to be the better drive :rolleyes:
I was so impressed with the 8v.... not wanting to open the age old arguement! :sad:

you cant go wrong with a bit of royal blue :wink:
-
Yeah we like Royal Blue, but rarer is Nile green and Lhasa Green (Early Mk2s only) plus silvers and blue black.
There's a big thread over on E38 in the mk2 section on rare Mk2 colours at the mo.
-

-
um, yes and yes!
