what ya recon?


Mk1 golf driver 1.3
Tax till end of june
MOT till end of august

car is very solid, had re-spray a few year ago in TNT orange.
electric windows
7 x 15 ATS cups
weber carb
coilovers all round car handles very well
stripped out interior with 2 bucket seats and Luke harnesses
flushed boot
reconditioned alternator
last MOT it had a full new exhaust system
both front wheel bearings done a few weeks ago
car starts first time every time and pulls well

few a spares with car, chin spoiler and eyelid spoiler and a few other bits. also comes with a full set of black VR6 storm corrado interior. front seats in good condition with no rips and just a little wear on drivers seat. rear seats are in mint condition.

All in all the car is very nice, sits well and drives well. there are a few bits that let it down such as the oil leaks and as the car is only a 4 speed its not great for motor way driving which, as travailing to uni and back that is mostly what i do. this would make a very nice project car for possible engine conversion or just to keep the car running over summer then would make nice winter project.

what ya recon on it?



I would say it's QUITE rare as before 1983 they where rust buckets so to last 30 years is known but......

Then VW started getting there act together so i would really check that chassis.

Service History?
Mileage on clock ...Can it be verified?

Re-Spray would ring my alarm bells and even more with interior changed...Check with DVLA for any claims and owners?

Oil leaks.....That's not looking good but may not be a disaster

In fact....I apologise if i am wrong but is this a joke.... :grin:
