If it was me, Id have the green one, its £1200 cheaper and has less miles! I know the other is an anni and will hold its value better over the coming years but thats not what buying a mk3 is about, you'd have to keep it a long time to make that £1200 back anyway! :grin:

Looking at the whole of that site now and found some other interesting bits and bobs - the green one isn't for me TBH - I like the black one due to the history and one owner thingy.

I'm thinking Anni now - can't help it - I also think I want A/C as I'm a pusser  :grin:

The more I think about it the more a MK3 makes sense  :wink:

If I didnt have my 8v anni I would have been all over that anni it has a few minor bits to do on it but I does look a very clean car and its silver which isnt to common good history and a fellow dub owner I think he wouldnt move to much on the price but he didnt advertise it at a great time tbh.I understand on the green one which does look a bargain but greens not everyones cup of tea still good luck in finding one  :wink:

You know it makes sense...16v Anniversary with A/C is the way forward...if you can find one.
The last of the cars you can really tinker with without needing laptops etc.

Lol have laptop - check my web :-)

That silver one seems good - I've registered and I'll pm him when the site let's me  :sad:

Seem a nice vr6 in need of help over there too - may get 'em both - cheaper than some mk6 owners have spent on a set of winter wheels and tyres  :huh:

I paid 900 for my 16v. Needed a damn good clean but that was it. Air con and full leather.145k but full service history too. No dents, very little body rust (just two small bits) but Tue underneath is had. I need new silly and new exhaust system. Cheap to do but still.

Why do you want an anchor?
Are you planning on going boating?

I meant it's around the last where wires actually turned things on without using controllers and things could be fixed with spanners, not by changing modules.

There is little scope to chip-tune the ABF...maybe 10 BHP at best.

But if you want old school mechanical tinkering, it's good fun.
