I'm in no way connected to the seller, but how random is this?

2ltr? Nah. 1.8t? Nah. Vr6? Nah.

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Is an unusal setup, fair play though.  funny how the car has done 160k and the engine 250k!!! obviously a strong engine but i wouldnt have wanted to chance it!

Not far off a mk2 Golf's weight, just add a bit for the boot.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3
