Just been looking at this, but im a bit confused. Did mk2s really come with a 2ltr? 190? to me its looks like a std mk2 valver, i mean if you did have somthing as special as it says would you honeslty advertise it on ebay? and not show the engine? paperwork?

opinions?

I think its a load of rubbish - I've never heard of a "standard" UK Mk2 with 2.0L - I think some the later US Mk2's might have a 2.0L engine though.

I've seen some Mk2's that have had a fettled GTI Engineering (a private aftermarket company) engine fitted soon after purchase, so maybe its had that (I doubt it).


I also like how theres a random pic of two spare doors, with no explanation. Presumably the existing doors are rotten.

he says  brand new doors included due to rust on originals    but they look used to me

Ooops.  I couldn't see that amidst all the bullsh1t.

ha!

Yea such a 'RARE' car that needs new doors...very well looked after then!!

Just annoyin how people can put all this bullsh1t in an add and people will actuay pay over the odds for which is just a std 16v.

The vehicle details for H101 RET are:
Date of Liability	01 07 2009
Date of First Registration	01 05 1991
Year of Manufacture	1991
Cylinder Capacity (cc)	1994CC
CO2 Emissions	Not Available
Fuel Type	Petrol
Vehicle Status	SORN Not Due
Vehicle Colour	BLACK

Well it's registered with a 1994CC engine, but that could have been done later.
Confused with the SORN not due, so does that mean it's currently SORN? He doesn't mention and MOT/TAX.
