Hi there and congratulations, this was and still is the best 8v I have ever owned, for your info I bought this around mid 90's from a bloke who had owned it from new from memory lived in Sheffield at Totley who was in his late 40s so no boy racer :grin:, it had 96,000 on the clock and had full Vw service history, was a minter, I robbed it for just under £1600 back then, I then sold it 6/12 months on for over £3k to a guy in Doncaster who bought it for his daughter..
The car was completely original, paintwork was perfect, nice interior....
Would be nice to see some upto date photos of her...
Enjoy her...
Thanks

my brother bought it about 6 years back from a guy in sheffield... then my dad had it and i was promised it for my 21st birthday :D its been sat in my back garden for about 18 months while i found original bits and bond for her and re-painted/de-rusted the wheel arches and sills, had her mot'd last month just before my birthday, straight through! quite pleased with it so far!

i did spend quite a while polishing her aswel ha

what wheels did she used to have?

thanks

i thought the 16v came with 15" wheels? but i don't know much ha I'm looking at some bbs ra's for winter wheels and to get the bottle tops refurbished.  i live in doncaster but in the navy so work away! so far she's coping with the miles! so all is good,

i could pop by one weekend I'm home if you want to see her again
