i wish i had, that was from a guy that was in the army, it had spent most its life in germany, but was mint, i padt £6k for it,  my mate had it after me, and kept it well, but it was the 90's, we were into the club scene  he got into some bad drugs (crack) and seen as the rest of us were not into that he dropped of the radar, the car went to rack and ruin, and was sold on for peanuts not long after.
 
for some reason the swift meant alot more to me and i always kept it, really was a good fun car.. 

likethe look of them rims bottom left in the ad you posted

one one of the retro ride links i put up earlier, a advert for the teddy bear wheel has been posted, says they were £150 each rim at certain VW  dealerships

the swift GTI was alot faster than what paper said too, they could easily show up alot of much bigger powered cars, an absolute GEM of an engine they go right round to almost 9k revs too. One of our fave battles was against dave of B autos in one of his 2.9 VR6 mk 2's, which could not catch the swift hahaha, then their was a guy in 205 hp RS turbo who would just not believe my car was still a 1.3 after he had been easily cained... such great fun, i still have the car stored away and miss driving it, keep almost getting it out and re building the engine... one day i will , the car is a bit like what your mk1 is to you i guess 

those pics of the skeete R5 turbo kill me, that was such a top motor in its day, to see it like that now, iv got the mag still, and its even in one of those previous links i provided from retro rides forum...

cant believe youve still got the swift, thats great.... yeah i was a litle disturbed by the R5, only good thing is he didnt get the chance to put that gash bumper on!

yep still got her, looks alot different now, sadly, not long after that picture it was vandalised outside a nightclub i was working in, was drug related, not to me but one of my best mates who had done similar to another persons car a few days before (was a golf gti as it happens) the swift was very well know at the time and took the brunt off the argument, i was so gutted. almost let it go the way of the dodo but i ended up taking it off the road and it was re built yet again, by this time it was 1999, and the in thing (for jap cars at least) was very mad colour changing paint schemes, it was finished in a gold/purple (the shame haha)  but i loved it and it was one of the firs to have this type of paint. 3 years later it was locked away in my dads garage on axle stands and its stood their ever since. it has survived in great shape too, not many of these cars left.

its tempting to get intouch with the guy about the skeete R5

and look who it is, remember when she worked at max power back in 94
