Is there a market for mk2s?

Well you have the answer.

Put the caterham on the track and keep the golf for the shopping run.

SORTED.

Keep it for a couple of years then sell it to me when I can afford the insurance for a 16v

I don't know if this helps but it's my contribution. I sold my 1 owner tornado red 5dr 1992 J 16v, 180,000 miles with FSH for ?1750 to a MAIN dealer. The body work was ok but the interior was truly excellent. If your car is any 'good', and I use that word in it's broadest sense since obviously no-one here can see your car, then yes ?1000 is too low. Why does everyone say oak green is the colour ? I spoke to 3 specialist dealers (not MAIN dealers) before selling mine and they all agreed Tornado red is the colour people want this car in. I'm NOT saying oak green isn't nice, it is, but I don't think it has the iconic status that people think it has ? - (not my opinion but that of three specialist dealers) however, each to his own taste and I wouldn't knock anyone's preference of colour - we're all individuals thank goodness.

As for my car ? It was so nice the dealer has kept it for himself and has not sold it on - he knew a good future investment when he saw one. regards, yt.

Tornado Red is great if you wax it all the time (and it doesn't fade)....  Otherwise metallics look better for longer generally. I'd say Royal Blue is rarer than Oak Green if not nicer. My car is what you might describe as a time warp car with both a fantastic interior, exterior and mechanical condition. How did you come to offer your car to a main dealer? as a px? I have set up pics on an online photo album. Send me your email if you'd like to see it.
