The interior shots are from a 3dr yet the photos show a 5dr.

I also think it is expensive, yes it is low miles (if genuine) but £2k is a lot, I struggled to sell my 8V with 60k, took ages to sell and ended up with less than £1300k for it.

"Just had Reconditioned gear box fitted with new gearbox oil (common MK3 Gti fault so no worries from now on with it)"

Hmmm after 47k its either ragged to s**t or not genuine mileage IMO

I payed 900quid for a P Reg 8v gti, with 55k on the clock... last year. I also knew the owner, so mine is genuine... Its always a dodgy thing buying a 2nd hand car, u never know what the previous owner/s have been doing to it. and yeah seems strange its not a pic from a 5 door... its probably a stitcher lol

The interior shots are from a 3dr yet the photos show a 5dr.

As far as I know, all colour concept Recaro front seats came with the levers on them so that they could be used in both 3dr or 5dr cars.

Although looking at the picture again, you can see the rear door cards are 3dr, so you're still correct lol

yep - photo's of inside look like a 3dr (3dr door cards).

also "Tottaly [sic] Standard, only modification is a sony head unit what is includded in the sale".

That, and the exhaust.... and the wheels (which look like they have the wrong offset).

Plus, I thoguht th ecolour concepts also had colour-coded bumper-tops and a wheel arches....

Not sure on the brake calipers... I know the anniversary ones were painted, but not sure on colour-concept....

aren't the levers on the wrong side of the seat? surely they should be next to the door and not in the middle?

rear parcel shelf... missing
rear seat looks as though it has a rip in it
