I would think that someone has fitted a 2.0 later.

The GTI Engineering steering wheel gives you the hint that it might not be factory spec.

If it were VAG 2.0 then it would be 1984cc, surely anyhoo.

Headlamp washers 'n' everything, although probably a *little* bit poxy, if it needs new doors...
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

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.

He does say no MOT and tax in an additional bit now lol, so yea I'm assuming it is currently SORN

I think this car is the real deal, GTI Engineering did do some pre registered conversions, and I'm fairly sure in saying that these engines were covered by the VW warranty they were that good, if it is a GTI Engineering car, then I would be very interested in finding out more about it, serious brownie points! http://forum.performancevwmag.com/viewtopic.php?t=45195&sid=9d2648be017fb30a2cc409d6389ef14a

I emailed the guy soon after he had the add up  :wink:

I asked him if it had the 'gti engineering' plaque on the slam pannel. I also told him its not factory then is it!  :grin:

His reply..

''yes it has pal but it was done by gilders motorsport they were the only company that got 190bhp out of a 2L and only ever did 7 of them''

Ok so if it is true...Wouldnt you want to take a money shot pic of the engine? This is what I dont get so bullsh1t comes to mind.

if they were on a power quest and only got 190 bhp  gliders motorsport arn't very good.    really it's nothign spectial at all,   a 16v with a 2.0 conversion  may have had some headwork done  ( or some added bullsh!t ) and some posh bit's of trim but if the doors have gone the rest is gonna be poor
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
