If its a genuine Concept tho then its worth it!!
I've got an 8valve thats done 192,500 and it still starts first time no matter the weather and I know theres a few guys on here that are in the 200,000's an still runnin, if its not a genuine concept tho it is about £300 above price I'd say.

I hate to say but vw never sold a 16v colour concept...I guess it 's had a trim change which t.b.h is not uncommon

I believe what BB says as he had done loads of research.

150 colour concept valvers were released in the UK, what money are they asking?

That was the Anniversary 16v.
There was never a 16v CC.
I have both the original CC and Anni brochures sat in front of me from 1996, and you could not buy a 16v CC.

It's either a standard 16v with leather interior option, or it's had an interior change.

This is the one in question.





Just been on autotrader and there is another that has come up for sale, closer to me, less mileage and less money :)

This one is 2 years younger (1997) and has only done 90k they want £850 for it.

Hi Bretty

Golf Gti mk3 are good solid cars and very reliable. I've been to Europe in mine and had no problems at all. Mine as done 140000 miles ans still going strong. I have just rebuilt the engine and change almost every mechanical part on my golf you could think off and it's like a new car now, getting a re-spray done soon that will bring it back to it's original glory. Look after the Golf and it will look after you buddy.

Is that a 16v? The badge suggests otherwise...which isn't the be all and end all.

Why has it got a CL grille, not a GTI grille?
