I'm frightened to post this one on here incase someone else snaps it up before I do! lol

But what about this? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201144426566132/sort/priceasc/usedcars/seller-type/trade_adverts/price-to/2000/maximum-mileage/up_to_100000_miles/model/golf/make/volkswagen/radius/30/postcode/cm28xh/page/1?logcode=p

It looks like there is 6 gears? - I do know that the previous owner was a VW Main Dealer mechanic so perhaps he put a 6 speed gearbox in?

Anyway, i'm viewing it tomorrow afternoon :)

Looks a nice clean example but check for the usual rust spots as previously stated in this thread. Does it have a six speed box or is it just the gear knob has been changed from a Mark 4 ??

Just to let you all know, I have just bought this and drove it hope. What a beauty, it really is.

Doesn't have 6 gears so the gear knob will be changed soon. Has Parrott Bluetooth and MP3 input installed with a 10 CD changer.

Really happy, at the moment.  :smiley:

PS. The only bit of rust me and my Grandad could find was on the driver door sill which doesn't bother me, I can always get that sorted If I want.
