When I was looking for my car I stumbled across a 1992 3door 16v mk2 in silver with 136miles on the clock!!! It had been tucked away in showrooms its whole life, the price on that was Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£12k a couple of years ago. Probably sat in a museum now going to waste.

That's just what I think too. There was a red one on Pistonheads the other day too and he wanted 13k I think, again, mint as, but what is the point as you wouldn't want to drive it would you. :sad:

Post by: NewStu on 02 November 2006, 12:15: Yeah but on the flip side of the coin it would also be a real shame if cars like this no longer existed.

Post by: 16v Matt on 02 November 2006, 12:30: Indeed stu, but what purpose is it serving, other than making the current owner a bucket load of cash. Who ever buys it will polish it & stick it in a heated/dehumidified garage because he is scared of driving his mint rallye & that is where it'll stay for another 5 years. We'll then be having this same conversation again when it comes up for sale at 20k next time :grin:

True and a fair point, but from what myself and others have said that's why I'd never own a car like this because I'd want to drive and enjoy it and not just sit and polish it all the time.
