pfft that is a lot of money for that car, especially with all those miles on it

how about this then for £8k? Possibly the nicest mk1 that I know of...

I didn't make a profit, it just had to go when circumstances forced me to....  It was the right car at the wrong time.  :sad:

Oh and if I had the money when this was for sale I would have snapped it up without giving it any thought at all!... It went for insane money though.

I know the History of this car I think, was a one old lady owner motor.. I want it!  I want it a lot!


yeah... lookee here for the info http://www.flickr.com/photos/guyfrankland/5929238265/sizes/o/in/photostream/

the one lady owner had it from 75-2002 and only did 17,750 miles in it...

when I spoke to the owner at stoner he said that it wasn't a pleasure to drive as he was more a guardian than an owner and it was too precious to do anything other than drive it to shows

^^ from where?... I sold it when I left home.  :sad:

even had a mint wolfsburg steering wheel in it.

The car went for less than what the wheels worth now.
