Title: MK VI launch - we need your mk2
Post by: Ben_G on 03 December 2008, 22:44

Hello everyone, im a technician for Martins Volkswagen of Basingstoke (Hampshire). We are hosting a showroom launch of the new Golf Mark VI on the evening of Thursday 15th January. We are currently trying to organise to have one or two of all the Mark's from 1-5, as well as the new car on display in our showroom. We're specifically looking for Mark 1-4 in as great condition as possible, especially those cars that are faithful to the original spec and condition, however obviously upgraded cars are also fine (although i probably have to rule out wildly modified ones unfortunatley).

If anyone is interested or knows someone who might be please reply and let me know through the forum, with photos if possible. I would be delighted to hear from you, I would make sure you are well looked after with food and drink too.

Thank you for you time.

Ben Goddard

i would be interested in putting my car up but its not in showroom condition. Althought with a good clean and polish it does come up a treat. ive got lowered suspension and DTM style backbox, but thats all, standard steel wheels and a quad lamp with crystal clear x-hair headlamps and spot lights. have a look and let me know.

Hi Ben, I'd be up for this too although mine is having a little restoration work done but its almost finished (and its original).  Its a white 16v 5 door.  When would you need to confirm by?

Very interested in all of the above cars, i'll show my dealer principal to see what he likes, i like them all. You would need to be at martins basingstoke by 6.30ish so that we can get cars into showroom. I would need to know asap so that we can arrange and organise who is coming. If you think your car wont be done in time we'll probably need to know a week before the launch date 15th jan.

Thank you for your interest

Hi Ben

Has a decision been made yet? I would not leave it too long, mid Jan will come around quick and some of us may need to make some advance arrangements to get to you.  :smiley:

Thanks

If it comes down to a vote I'm going with Drapergti's Oak green beauty. Completely standard and looking immaculate, in a VW showroom that will look amazing!  :smiley:

Title: Re: MK VI launch - we need your mk2
Post by: Jay on 22 December 2008, 12:25

Somehow I don't think we will be the one's voting matey.

Ben, nearly end of December, best get your principle to decide soonish :wink:

All lovely mk2's. :smiley: That OAK Green would look extra nice in the show room

Title: Re: MK VI launch - we need your mk2
Post by: drapergti on 22 December 2008, 18:11

It would be nice to know the launch colour that the dealership will be using, that way if someone has a similiar colour it would all look good.

Title: Re: MK VI launch - we need your mk2
Post by: Jay on 23 December 2008, 21:48

At a guess they'll have more than one colour  :wink: :rolleyes:

Red, White, Black and maybe Blue and  tbh can't see them showing off a Green MK6 at a launch as it's not exactly a favourite colour nowadays. I think Chuff's should be in there, it always looks good.

Title: Re: MK VI launch - we need your mk2
Post by: drapergti on 23 December 2008, 22:29

Hence my suggestion...  :smiley: All the cars offered look great, the longer this is left the less likely they will be available.

Title: Re: MK VI launch - we need your mk2
Post by: JC on 24 December 2008, 08:20

seen this up for other dealers on another forum too  :rolleyes:

oh well, times a ticking  :wink:

Title: Re: MK VI launch - we need your mk2
Post by: Jay on 25 December 2008, 12:14

Well if  they want a standard looking car, they better say soon! Mine might not look so standard soon  :evil:

My car is no longer available as I have other commitments now.
