Does look a tad barry doesn't it. Luke has a set of RA's in the garage though so am trying to persuade him to sell them to me and some standard mirrors should smarten it up a bit. Replace the vw badge and stick a standard exhaust on it etc.

Finding the beemer quite hard to get rid of really and nobody has been interested in a swap or part ex until this guy showed up. Think the only reason it is being considered is because it has 12 months mot and 6 months tax on it to be honest.

I don't think that Mk2 is worth £1500 (the price advertised). The leather seats look tired and you'll want to tidy it up.
If it was a GTI, even an 8v, I'd say it was worth it, but it is only a 1.6 driver. So it'll be a bit of a step down (performance wise) and if you sold the Mk2 later, you probably wouldn't make your money back.
But it's up to you.

ideally i'd rather have a mk 1 cabby or a mini but finding it difficult to shift the beemer  :sad:
