Post by: MK4_20VT on 30 May 2007, 19:27: My MK2 was registered in April 84, with a glass sunroof & had a bigger cam than a standard 8v (which was factory fitted, shown in the spec sheet)

Post by: Mew on 30 May 2007, 20:22: I did have an 84 A reg in my posession up until recently. It only had a single exhaust cut-out (not a double one half blanked) and even had the mk1 style side decals!

Post by: Mew on 04 June 2007, 17:53: It wasn't so much the price, it was where it was and the fact that i have 2 Golfs at the moment anyway! Admittidly, i did expect it to go for more than that, was very surprised when i saw the finishing price. You definitely got yourself a bargain there! :cool:
